The Quarreling Book by Charlotte Zolotow, pictures by Arnold Lobel


My sister's blog (http://dailygrapefruit.blogspot.com) from Monday (11/18/2008) reminded me of this book when I saw it tonight. The James family has a rough start to their day, starting with the rainy gray weather and Mr. James forgetting to kiss Mrs. James good-bye. Mrs. James is cross and contention carries on through the ranks. What turns things around so that by the end of the day, the sun is shining again? 

You'll have to read it to find out!

A very short, cute read, for even the active, non-sitting-still child.

(New York: Harper Trophy, 1963/1991)
