Round 2: (3) Happy Hippo, Angry Duck vs. (11) Batman Shapes

Moods versus shapes, and only one concept can win!


Happy Hippo, Angry Duck
by Sandra Boynton
Available in board book, hardcover, and Kindle formats. (Amazon)

Batman Shapes
by Benjamin Bird and Ethen Beavers
Available in board book and Kindle formats. (Amazon)

Previously

3 seed Happy Hippo, Angry Duck overcame a kumbaya moment to beat 14 seed Hickory Dickory Dock, while 11 seed Batman Shapes made short work of 6 seed Spooky, Spooky Little Bat.

Match-up Analysis

H. hasn't picked up either one of these books in a while. The Boynton books haven't had a particularly good run this round, while the superhero books have also been taking a beating. H. has been trending towards books that he can engage with, however, so hunting down shapes in Gotham City might be the boost in Batman Shapes' favor.

Prediction

Batman Shapes with a narrow win.

Results

We finish up Round 2 with yet another upset, as Happy Hippo, Angry Duck takes the win.

Up Next

Happy Hippy, Angry Duck will go up against Jungle Book on May 6th.

Join us back here on April 29th to start Round 3!
