review 1: Like many of us, the Hueys find themselves drawn into an argument that becomes increasingly intense. But who knows how the conflict started or what they are even arguing about. Even that provides fodder for more disagreement. Gillespie solves the problem by distracting them with something else far more interesting. There is much to enjoy and much to discuss after reading this picture book and perusing its illustrations, created with pencils and "a bit of orange," according to the information in the front matter. Teachers and parents will certainly recognize themselves and their own children in the Hueys' behavior. Sometimes it is impossible to resolve conflicts.
review 2: I wanted to give this one fewer stars, but then I heard my four-year-old twin boys talkin... moreg about this book again today (we read it last night), and they seem to have really connected with the ideas in it. They were quoting the title, especially, and saying that they couldn't remember why they were mad, "just like the cartoon people in that book last night." I was wishing there was more actual "story" to the book, but what do grown-ups know? :) less
