Today, best friends Tripp and Tamus are ready to head to a birthday party! However, will Tamus pick up more than just a dessert by the end of the day?

On his way to his friend Banga's birthday celebration, Tripp decides to see what his friend Tamus is doing. Tamus the hippopotamus is his neighbor in Tall Pines and looks forward to the moments they get to share together.

When the duo arrives at the bakery, Tripp takes notice of the baker, who always seems to have a smile on her face. After explaining how her job and duties bring her joy, Tripp realizes he has nothing in his life that does the same.

By the end of the day, will Tripp and Tamus find activities that bring them joy, and get the delicious cookies Banga loves for her birthday party? You'll have to read to find out!

Tripp and Tamus is a perfect bookshelf addition for young readers that teaches the simple lesson of "even bad days have something in them to make you smile." It's great as a gift for kids ages four to nine, for parents to read with their kids, or for teachers to use in the classroom.
