Bookroo's summary

The Hueys, identical jelly bean-shaped creatures, find themselves in a comical conundrum—they can't remember what started their argument! As confusion reigns, their disagreement spirals into a bigger mess. Can they find common ground, or will their identical nature lead to endless bickering? Dive into this whimsical tale of misunderstandings and laughter, perfect for anyone who's ever mediated a sibling spat.

From the publisher

What’s all the arguing about? There are plenty of Hueys to go around in this hilarious story from the #1 bestselling illustrator of The Day the Crayons Quit!

The Hueys are back! Oliver Jeffers’ jelly bean-shaped creatures may look the same, think the same, and even do the same things, but that doesn’t mean they always agree. The only problem is, they can’t seem to agree on what they disagreed on in the first place! Which ultimately leads to an even bigger disagreement! Confused? Well, so are the Hueys. Which only adds to the fun and hilarity.

Anyone who has ever had to referee an argument among siblings or friends will appreciate the absurdity Oliver Jeffers reveals in the every-day trials of getting along.

Simple story that would probable make a toddler laugh. There isn't much substance but maybe a small lesson.
