Polly Ho-Yen and Binny Talib's new book is all about what happens when two friends fight - and we have a little look inside.

Lula and Lenka are best friends but they're also completely different. Lula is a messy dog person who likes talking to people; Lenka is a tidy cat person who likes watching people.

Despite their differences, they make a great pair - at least, that is, until the Day That Everything Goes Wrong.

Suddenly, Lula and Lenka aren't friends anymore. Both of them feel lonely without their partner in crime, but if neither of them wants to say listen, forgive or say sorry, will they manage to make up?

Two Sides (Stripes Publishing) is a lovely tale from Polly Ho-Yen with gorgeous illustrations by Binny Talib that really capture those complicated feelings of friendship and fights.

We've got a little look inside at Binny's images, so take a peek and let us know what you think...
