About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to play nicely with others, especially when they insist on being the boss of the story or game. It is a common frustration for preschoolers and early elementary students to feel that a peer is ruining their fun by introducing different ideas. This book provides a colorful, energetic roadmap for how to blend two very different creative visions into one cohesive masterpiece. Through the interaction of two friends, the story explores the essential balance between conflict and resolution. While one child wants everything to be perfect and magical, the other introduces dragons, pirates, and volcanoes. By the end, they realize that the ta-da moments feel much more rewarding after a bit of dun-dun-duh drama. It is an excellent tool for teaching collaboration and the value of compromise in a way that feels like pure play.
