In stock. Also at Amazon.
Natalie enjoys her little brother Alphonse's company until he crosses the line by eating her favorite book. Their playful world of naming pigeons and bouncing off bunk beds is disrupted, leading to a sibling showdown. Can their bond withstand this betrayal, or will it unravel? Discover how these little monsters navigate the ups and downs of family life, where forgiveness and understanding might just save the day.
Two siblings have a falling-out and make up again in spectacular style in a warm, witty story with sure appeal for little monsters everywhere. Once there was just Natalie. And then there was Alphonse, too. Natalie mostly doesn’t mind Alphonse being there–they both like naming pigeons (“Banana!” “Lorraine!”), bouncing things off bunk beds, and sharing a story together on the chair. But Alphonse sometimes draws on things that Natalie has made. And when she finds him eating her favorite book, she’s had enough: “Alphonse, that is not OK to do!” With bold illustrations and a subtle touch, Daisy Hirst visits the familiar territory of sibling squabbles–and the touching bond beneath it all that sees little monsters through.
