Other editions of book No Fighting, No Biting!

The need for and popularity of books for first grade children to read themselves was proved conclusively by this author and artist's first collaboration—Little Bear. Children, librarians, teachers, parents, and reviewers were unanimous in their praises. A few of their comments appear on the back flap of this jacket.Else Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak have again combined their talents to make a book filled with laughter and adventure. Children will love to find out why Rosa and Willy are like two little alligators (and why Lightfoot and Quickfoot are like two little children!).They will enjoy the delightful story, be enchanted by the joyous pictures, and be thrilled to have another book of which they can truly say, "I Can Read!"

Cousin Joan is telling stories. Poor Cousin Joan. Who can read when Willy and Rosa are pinching and squeezing and fighting? So Cousin Joan tells them a few stories about two quarrelsome little alligators who are always fighting and biting. Just like Willy and Rosa. This beginning reader for children has delightful color illustrations by acclaimed artist Maurice Sendak. Originally published in 1958.
