OverviewWhen two creatures are different, can they still be pals? A sweet pop-up book about friendship, from the creator of The Color Monster. Ralph is a roly-poly. Rita is a firefly. They are very different, and that is why they like each other . . . until, one day, they don't. Rita thinks Ralph's shell is too hard, and Ralph thinks Rita shines too brightly. Is their friendship in trouble? Or can they find a way to compromise? This celebration of love between two besties wows with amazing 3-D pop-ups on every page. It's the perfect gift for Valentine's--or any--Day.

As with Llenas' The Color Monster (2018), the magnificent art will prove a [strong] draw . . . Gatefolds, inset booklets, immense multilayered pop-ups that seem to burst up as they open, and pull tabs that create big, broad movements enhance illustrations created from layers and assemblages of large and small cut-paper bits, all further energized with transparent colors and added scribbly lines. Though Ralph and Rita have buglike attributes, they look like humans (both white) in costumes. Younger audiences will likely pay more attention to the tabs and pop-ups than the theme, but both pals are drawn with large, expressive faces that make it easy to track the ins and outs of their close, if occasionally stressed, relationship. The art pops--and pops up. --Kirkus Author InformationAnna Llenas is the author and illustrator of several books for children, including The Color Monster.
