To begin, I thought this book was hilarious. In the beginning I really didn't understand where it was going, but once the insults started I always had a smile on my face. Though I don't think kids should handle their problems with each other through name calling it was clear that the two children in this book didn't actually hate each other. What's great about it is that it seems like these two kids seem like they do this all the time and if it isn't seriously a problem between the two then its fine. With this book it also advocates that children go out and learn about all the various words in the book, even stating where you can find all the words. ( )

A boy and a girl do not like each other because they want what the other has. The boy lives in the country and is jealous the girl lives in the city and vice versa. So they decide to meet and fight. They yell words back and forth until they are hoarse. They shake hands and say they will have to fight again one day.
