Tottie and Dot are two little girls who live side by side. Life is very peaceful until one day the girls begin competing with each other to create the best house. As the story unfolds, jealousy takes hold and their competitive spirit gets increasingly out of control until ultimately, things collapse in a disastrous heap. Will Tottie and Dot realise the importance of their friendship before its too late Each girls house is shown over a series of exquisitely illustrated double-page spreads Tottie on the left and Dot on the right. The detailed illustrations perfectly complement the simple story line and will provide children aged 47 with hours of entertainment, as well as a valuable life lesson!
