Play by Jez Alborough is the sequel to Hug. (Alborough is also the author of Where’s My Teddy.) Once again baby chimp Bobo and his mother have a brief adventure told through one word speech bubbles and bold, colorful illustrations. Bobo wants to keep playing at bedtime. He plays with a giraffe and then a turtle before finally snuggling down with his mother after dark. Children 2 through 5 will sympathize with this young chimp’s love for life,  his unwillingness to stop playing until dark,and his love and need for his mother. While not quite as successful as Hug,youngsters who enjoyed Bobo’s first story will welcome and enjoy this sequel.  Recommended for libraries where Hug is popular.  Margy Soule, Coffin Elementary School , Brunswick.
