Summary from Templar
Sidney and Stella do everything together… except share!
This debut picture book is a tour-de-force of the
imagination by exciting new talent Emma Yarlett. Twins Sidney and Stella
love doing everything together… everything except sharing. When a
quarrel over a bouncy ball spells moon-sized disaster, the twins must
face their biggest ever challenge: working together to find a new moon!
Nayuleska's thoughts
It's the smaller details in the book such as the realistic line drawn in their bedroom, dividing up their personal boundries which made me laugh even more at these squabbling siblings.
You can find out more on Emma's website.
