Reach for this book when your child is witnessing a silly adult disagreement or feeling frustrated by the irrational behavior of grown-ups. It is the perfect tool for helping children process the embarrassment that comes when parents or neighbors act less maturely than the kids themselves. This quirky chapter book follows a neighborhood feud over a cabbage patch that escalates into an absurd and hilarious war. While the humor is front and center, the story explores themes of pride, stubbornness, and the quest for fairness. It is highly appropriate for early independent readers (ages 7 to 10) who enjoy slapstick comedy but are also beginning to notice the social dynamics of their community. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's perspective in a world where adults don't always set the best example.
