Quentin, a little kweek, takes a stand against big queek Jed, whose been greedily, hogging the delictable ploppolops fruit on the jungle island of Kookatumdee. Quentin rallies his little fellow kweeks for support, but faces his adversary alone, and saves the day for his friends.

My children and I loved this book. The colorful way Bill Peet teaches lifelong lessons and inspires the reader to rise and search for much higher abilities within themselves is appreciated and rewarding! We've shared his stories with our children's friends as well as other adults that also found it inspiring and uplifting!! He truely teaches to look within yourself for answers and strength beyond what you may expect to find!!

I loved Bill Peet books as a child, and I still really like them today. I remember every character and every plot from 20 years ago. The illustrations are cute and captivating, the characters are engaging, the stories and well told, and each book has a meaning. There are few authors who can create such a fine balance in childrens' books.

I loved this book and all of Bill Peet's work as a kid and now having grown up I still find myself in love with his illustrations as well as his story lines. A book i will hopefully have the pleasure of reading to my kids someday.

We love Bill Peet! The Kweeks are funny and brave, cowardly and complacent; some of the same things I see in myself. But bravery and a need to do things differently save the day. So when I say "We love Bill Peet", my kids love this story and I love the way this book shows the bully becoming isolated and the friend who work together having everything they need.

It was totally cool! It was funny too! I'm so glad Quentin escaped Jed's nasty peck! Jed was so fat and mean, I think its so amazing that bill peet used so much rhyming!
