'A fresh delight. I love this book.' Katherine Rundell

This third brawl just happened. Nobody knew why . . .


The dogs and the bears have been brawling for a while. No one knows quite how it started. Was it the jackets, cloaks and bandanas the dogs were wearing? Or the smell of the sickly sweets that the dogs were making? But today is the day of the third deciding brawl. The stage is set. NO snack breaks and no biscuits.

But halfway through the world is interrupted by an unexpected airborne event - raining squid! This will change the relationship of the dogs and bears forever . . .

A funny and sublimely ridiculous story about playground squabbling and peace - and a first children's book from a bestselling author and world-renowned French illustrator.

Max Porter is the author of four novels, including the Sunday Times #1 bestseller Shy. He is Associate Artist at The Southbank Centre and chair of the judging panel for the International Booker Prize 2025. This is his first children's book.

Dorothée de Monfreid is a French author and illustrator. She worked as a graphic designer before children's books. She is best known for illustrating I Really Want to Eat a Child. Dorothée also creates comics and is an accomplished ukulele player.
