Bookroo's summary

In a world divided by a yellow line, the Town of Left and the Town of Right have forgotten why they are separated. When a citizen accidentally crosses the line, the Ambidextrous Knights must respond, armed only with marshmallows. Chaos ensues as 50,000 boxes of marshmallows become the ammunition in a hilariously sticky conflict. Will the towns find a way to reconcile, or will the Marshmallow Incident escalate into a sugary showdown? Discover the whimsical tale of boundaries, misunderstandings, and a deliciously absurd resolution.

From the publisher

From the creators of the bestseller CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS comes another zany, laugh-out-loud picture book! The Town of Left and the Town of Right are separated by a dotted yellow line, and no one on either side can remember how things got to be this way! One day, an unlucky citizen crosses the line–forcing the Order of the Ambidextrous Knights who guard the border to take action. Unfortunately, the only ammunition they have around is marshmallows–50,000 boxes worth! So begins the Marshmallow Incident, a tale of Left and Right, and Right and Wrong, with an incredibly silly but delicious dose of Mallo-Puffs and Marsh-Pillows thrown in. Kids will read it once and then beg for s’more!
