Product Description:
In rhyming verse that’s a deliberate homage to Dr. Seuss, poet and picture book author Mary Ann Hoberman takes on quarreling and its consequences, and shows how turning fighters into friends leads to greater peace. It all starts with a fighting brother and sister, who make up with the help of another sibling. When the family begins fighting with their noisy neighbors, it’s music that brings them together. Soon the whole town is marching in a parade, and eventually the parade swells to include the whole country, and even the animals. By the end of this optimistic picture book, the whole world is united in friendship.
Amazon.com Review:
"We thwacked and we whacked and we walloped away..." lilts the Seussian verse of this exuberant, peace-promoting picture book. When a brother and sister start fighting over croquet one day, it seems as though they'll never stop. Then their little sister happens by and offers them soda pop if they'll make up. Since they're thirsty and tired, this sounds like a pretty good idea. And just like that, the fight is over. Later, when new neighbors begin to make a huge racket with all their musical instruments, the family is all set for another fight. But the noisy neighbors invite the family to join in, and soon the biggest, loudest, most joyful parade ever is underway. More and more people join the procession; suddenly enemies become friends, complainers turn into campaigners, and dogs and cats march paw in paw. Eventually the whole world is united in this giant parade of peace and friendship. And to think that they thought they would never be friends!
Kevin Hawkes's jubilant illustrations fill every page with rich color and wild commotion. Grannies with towering beehive hairdos prance with bagpipe-brandishing boys in Mohawks; babies burst out of tubas, blasting English horns; one pajama'd papa floats ethereally by, tooting his trumpet. The message is plain: make music, not war. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

This is a beautiful story in rhyme about how people can learn to get along despite their differences. The illustrations are very colorful and eye-catching for a small child, and my almost 4 year old loves it. Excellent for introducing the idea that even though we may be different, we all share the same world and must learn to get along and live in harmony.

Truly an exceptional rhyming book that transitions energetically from a simple sibling fight to world harmony through music! I'd say great for 3 - 9 yrs - the 3's won't "get it" and it's a bit longer, but they'l like the rhythmic verses, animals and fabulous pictures!

World peace through music...can't think of a better message to send to kids and adults alike!

My 5-1/2-year-old daughter and I just LOVE this book. My daughter asks for it almost every night before bed. We both like books that rhyme, and this one does so quite intelligently (no "made-up" words, well - maybe ONE questionable word). An entertaining and even inspiring read. The illustrations are creative and unique.

This is a fun, rhyming book that kids love. I've read it to my 5 year old every day for a month now. He just can't get enough!!
