Critic Reviews
"David McKee’s classic illustration style suits the craziness of the monsters’ argument in this (as always) profound picture book ... A perfect picture book for little ones to give them a way to talk about the frustrating feeling of having an argument – and a reminder to grown-ups that very often we can think we are at odds with someone who, actually, pretty much agrees with us after all." BookTrust
"A great, fun, easy read that will have everyone giggling and, hopefully, learning to respect and consider other viewpoints alongside their own." Early Years Educator

Back Cover
Two monsters live on opposite sides of a mountain, and talk through a hole in the middle, but life is lonely and tempers are running thin: "You're just a stupid old wind-filled prune!" "And you're a bandy-legged, soggy cornflake!" replied the second monster. Will they ever stop bickering and bridge the gap over the mountain? A modern classic from the creator of ELMER and NOT NOW, BERNARD!
