Riassunto

#1 bestselling artist Oliver Jeffers delivers another hilarious Hueys board book!

Oliver Jeffers'  jelly bean-shaped creatures may all look the same, think the same, and even do the same things, but that doesn’t mean they always agree. The only problem is, they can’t seem to agree on what they disagree on! Which ultimately leads to an even bigger disagreement. Confused? Well, so are the Hueys. Which only adds to the fun and hilarity.

Anyone who has ever had to referee an argument among siblings or friends will appreciate the absurdity Oliver Jeffers reveals in the every-day trials of getting along.

Praise for It Wasn't Me:

"Jeffers is a master of this sort of wry humor, with his deeply expressive gestures; generous, empty backgrounds; and quirky charm. The explosion of the argument--and stillness of the solution--resonates on just the right frequency, distilling complex emotion into something manageable and entertaining. Kids will recognize themselves here, over and over again." -Booklist 

"A stylish and sophisticated story that reminds readers that some fights aren't worth having." -Publishers Weekly

"Children will undoubtedly enjoy the simple, but expressive, caricatures and the childlike pencil and mixed-media compositions. Parents may get new ideas for conflict management under Gillespie's cool tutelage. A worthy sequel." -School Library Journal
