From the creators of the bestseller CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS comes another zany, laugh-out-loud picture book! The Town of Left and the Town of Right are separated by a dotted yellow line, and no one on either side can remember how things got to be this way! One day, an unlucky citizen crosses the line--forcing the Order of the Ambidextrous Knights who guard the border to take action. Unfortunately, the only ammunition they have around is marshmallows--50,000 boxes worth! So begins the Marshmallow Incident, a tale of Left and Right, and Right and Wrong, with an incredibly silly but delicious dose of Mallo-Puffs and Marsh-Pillows thrown in. Kids will read it once and then beg for s'more!

Reader reviewed by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, The Original H.I.R. (Historical Investigative Reporter)

If youre looking for a book that helps your child celebrate
the importance of accepting differences in others while laughing out loud in
the process, The Marshmallow Incidence,
by Judi Barrett, is the perfect book.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Barrett,
who also wrote Cloudy With a Chance of
Meatballs, and Pickles to Pittsburg,
teams up with her illustrator-husband, Ron Barrett, to give children ages 4 to
8 a gooey taste of old-world humor and an eye-full of hilarious illustrations.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The Marshmallow Incident happens in the cartoon
towns of Left and Right, which are nestled side-by-side and separated by a big
yellow line.Â The townspeople living on
either side have nothing to do with each otheronly they cant remember why
they dont like each other&or when the dislike started.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â It takes a
clumsy townsperson tripping over the sacred yellow line, and a sky-full of
falling marshmallows to start the townspeople thinking about why they have been
behaving the way they do.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â This is a
cute, cleverly-written little story that is sure to touch your childs funny
bone, and teach about differences in the process.
