Fighting Words

Written by Eve Merriam, illustrated by David Small

Dale and Leda are friends. But when they decide they really hate eachother, there’s only one thing to do. They meet, roll up their sleeves and… Leda blasts Dale. OAF. Dale strikes back. DOLT. Leda lets go again. LUMMOX. And the fight begins!

“Small’s vigorously drawn illustrations, which cleverly contrive to celebrate the richness of the language while humorously deprecating the activity, steal the show.”
