McFig & McFly: A Tale of Jealousy, Revenge, and Death (with a Happy Ending)

32 pp. | Candlewick | May, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3386-8 $17.99
(3) K-3 In this odd black comedy, two next-door neighbors compete to build the bigger, better home, leading to penury, lunacy, and (in one case) death. The craggy-looking illustrations rise to each of the text's escalating challenges. A vertical foldout spread shows both structures in all their imaginative glory--and McFig, toppling to his death, "splat!"
