Description
What makes a good story? One little girl thinks it's a princess with magical powers that can-ta-da!-overcome any obstacle. Her friend thinks it's-dun dun duh!-a combination of dragons, pirates, and fire that cause total chaos. But as their stories intertwine, these two young storytellers soon learn that a good story needs both conflict-dun dun duh!-and resolution-ta-da! An irresistible celebration of imaginary play, storytelling, and the joys of collaboration, this gorgeous picture book features two strong voices throughout, making it the perfect read-aloud.

Reviews
"This humorous picture book about imaginative play, collaboration and friendship will resonate with any child who may find it challenging to accommodate a friend or sibling's ideas into their own carefully devised game. It demonstrates that - with a little give and take - a game shared can be double the fun. A different typeface is used for each character, making it easy to identify their voices. The energetic illustrations in warm, earthy tones perfectly reflect the chaos of children at play." -- Booktrust
