Publisher Description
Two monsters live on either side of a mountain. Sometimes they talk through the hole in the mountain, but they never see each other. One evening, they get into a silly argument about whether day is departing or night is arriving, which escalates into a rock throwing fight, which eventually destroys the mountain, and enables the monsters to see each other's point of view and live together as friends.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McKee, creator of the King Rollo series, brings to life a simple story of two monsters living on opposite sides of a mountain. Communicating through only a hole, one monster declares that day is departing, while the other firmly believes that night is arriving. After this disagreement, neither monster can sleep, which makes them grouchy and further fuels the argument, leading to a name-calling, stone-hurling, earth-shattering fight. As the monsters' insults get longer, the rocks they throw get larger, and the mountain separating the two is smashed into bits and pieces. For the first time the monsters see each other, and realize the other one just might be right. Together they watch the sunset, giggling over their foolish quarrel. Young readers will delight inand probably repeatthe outrageously silly insults; the clean, crisp lines of the monsters' bodies and the rocks contrast nicely with the subdued washes of the morning and evening skies.
