The Arguers

By Corinna Luyken

Corinna Luyken’s The Arguers is a fairy tale that turns a small disagreement into an absurd adventure. What begins as a debate over how best to comb the king’s beard quickly grows into a full-blown argument about everything imaginable. Soon, arguing becomes the kingdom’s favorite activity. Kids will find it especially funny when the characters start bickering with flowers and stones, and adults may quietly recognize themselves in the chaos.

Luyken’s illustrations will captivate kids, and they add whimsy to every page. It is a lovely book, and I can see families using it as a reference point for small disagreements around the home. This would be a great addition to any family collection or library.
