A friendship disagreement built into play

George and Georgina’s argument over whether sticks or stones are better grows alongside the structures they build from each. The escalating dispute turns a playdate into a story about friendship, perspective, and finding a way to play together. The board book pairs whimsical castles and thrones with the outsized feelings of a childhood quarrel, giving families a natural opening to talk about listening to another point of view.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children sharing a story about friendship and disagreements
  • Families looking for a board book to prompt conversation about considering another person’s perspective
  • Storytimes that welcome humorous depictions of childhood arguments

Book overview

Best friends discover that working together is more fun than being right in this hilarious board book about a playdate gone wrong.

Sticks or stones? When best friends George and Georgina disagree over which is better, their argument escalates to shouts of "I don't want to play with you!" "No, I don't want to play with you!", until two new friends show them a better way. As they argue, George and Georgina build grander and grander structures, resulting in delightfully whimsical depictions of castles and thrones built from sticks and stones. Perfect for kick-starting conversations about considering someone else's point of view, and packed with wonderfully expressive characters and the humorously overblown emotions of a childhood fight, this story makes for a laugh-out-loud story time experience.
