Two Sides Reviews


  • Mr Bramley

    A wonderfully illustrated and written story of two girls and their friendship after a big argument.

    The book does an amazing job at expressing their emotions and explaining feelings to children. The dual narrative works well to explain how the other person feels in an argument too.

  • Stephen Connor

    A short, simple story about two best friends who fall out over something and nothing. There are two sides to every story, and here we experience both as Lina and Lenka tell their version of events.

    A great book for younger readers as they transition from picture books to slightly longer reads.

  • Dan Northover

    Loved this - the dual narrators work really well and the illustrations are beautiful throughout. A lovely book exploring friendships and would no doubt lead to useful discussions around how to deal with friendships.

  • Suzanne Bhargava

    A really sweet story with lovely illustrations, whose telling of school bus and playground dramas ring eerily true to real life.

    I read it to my grade 3s in two sessions and they absolutely loved it.

  • Vonprice

    Absolutely adorable highly illustrated early chapter book about friendship. You can read my full review here:

  • Aina Hilmi

    Kisah persahabatan antara dua orang rakan. Sama usia, berbeza perwatakan. Seorang jenis teratur, seorang lagi tidak. Seorang suka kemas-kemas, seorang lagi asal boleh sahaja.

    Macam mana dua insan berbeza ini boleh jadi rapat?
    Akhirnya tercetus juga pertengkaran yang membawa kepada konflik.

    Penulis bijak menulis dalam perkataan yang menepati jadi saya kira anak-anak yang membaca buku ini dapat mengenal pasti masalah dan cara menanganinya.

    Yalah, kadang-kadang cerita punya pengaruh yang besar kepada pembaca.

  • Lindsay

    Nice story of best friends, differences, falling out, and making up. The illustrations are absolutely lovely, such a cute style and so vibrant.

  • Shatiel

    È sempre difficile chiedere scusa.

  • Eliza Merrick

    These are friends Lula and Lanka. They fall out but at the end they get back friends.
