Description
A grumpy stuffed bunny and a happy-go-lucky stick fall out of their boy's backpack and embark on an odyssey that takes them around the world, experiencing one crazy adventure after another.
Quick Summary
Huggie, a perpetually grumpy stuffed bunny, and Stick, an endlessly cheerful stick, find themselves on a worldwide odyssey after they tumble out of a boy's backpack and land in the most unexpected places. Their journey is a fast-paced series of goofy mishaps getting stuck in a cactus, riding a tidal wave, and outwitting a mischievous monkey while their personalities clash in laugh-out-loud banter that even early readers can follow. The book's short sentences and snappy dialogue make it a great choice for reluctant readers, yet the vivid illustrations and global settings keep kids who love adventure coming back for more. Parents will appreciate that the humor is light-hearted, with just enough mild peril to make the characters' cleverness shine without ever feeling scary. If your kids get a kick out of the mischievous duo in *The Bad Guys*, they'll likely love the bickering best-friends dynamic between Huggie and Stick just as much.
