The Kerfuffle

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 2
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

Dog and Cat were happy living next door until a misunderstanding caused a real kerfuffle! Now they can’t stand each other any longer, so they start to build a wall between their gardens. The wall goes up and up and up.

One day a funny rabbit pops its head over. But whose garden will this new friend play in? Here’s another cause for chaos between neighbors! Finally a better idea for how to use the bricks finds three happy friends sharing the garden after all—until some pigs move in next door . . . .

From the creator of sensational lift-the-flap books about fairy tales and adventures comes a delightfully simple story about getting along with friends, which doesn’t put the lid on pandemonium.

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“Form and function meld with fun and whimsy in a tale of the futility of building walls.”—Kirkus Reviews

Mathew Tobin

“Perrin’s illustrations are bursting with energy, and the flaps invite curious readers to look closer, reconsider, and reframe the story — a brilliant prompt for conversations about perspective, conflict, and empathy.”—Mathew Tobin
