Green and Blue are best friends. But . . . who is the bestest? Green builds a bigger, better shell. And then Blue builds a biggerer, betterer shell! Uh-oh – I think we can guess where this is going.

Who, or what, will ultimately triumph?

This furiously fast-paced and witty picture book warns of the dangers of comparing yourself to others, especially your friends! Packed with lots of visual humour, children will hoot with laughter at Blue and Green’s ever-growing silly shells. From Clive Penguin illustrator and creator of the Agent Harrier graphic novel series, Ben Sanders.

Abigail Z. ★★★★★

My three-year-old loves the "biggerer, betterer" shell competition — it’s a simple, playful way to teach sharing without being preachy. The hardback cover has held up through at least ten re-reads already.

Lily ★★★★★

Both my kids fight over who gets to read "One Up - Hardback" first at bedtime – the escalating shells got them giggling every single page. The clever wordplay with "biggerer, betterer" actually sparked a fun conversation about friendship and sharing. It's quickly become our go-to story for teaching

Madison ★★★★★

We just read this with my daughter, and the escalating shell competition had us both laughing out loud. The "biggerer, betterer" language is so clever and perfectly captures how kids argue.
