The Kerfuffle - by Clotilde Perrin (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Dog and Cat were happy living next door until a misunderstanding caused a real kerfuffle! Now they can't stand each other any longer, so they start to build a wall between their gardens. The wall goes up and up and up.

One day a funny rabbit pops its head over. But whose garden will this new friend play in? Here's another cause for chaos between neighbors! Finally a better idea for how to use the bricks finds three happy friends sharing the garden after all--until some pigs move in next door . . . .

From the creator of sensational lift-the-flap books about fairy tales and adventures comes a delightfully simple story about getting along with friends, which doesn't put the lid on pandemonium.
