About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when endless bickering between siblings or friends has reached a fever pitch. It serves as a gentle and humorous intervention for children who struggle to see the negative impact of their arguments. The story features two monsters who live on opposite sides of a mountain and do nothing but yell at each other. Their conflict is disrupted when a third monster arrives and, annoyed by the noise, begins dismantling their mountain. This forces the two squabbling monsters to cooperate to save their home, leading to an unexpected friendship. Appropriate for ages 3 to 6, this book uses simple language and bold, expressive illustrations to make a powerful point about teamwork without being preachy.
