The Middle Kid (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781452181806)

A story about the wonderfully challenging realities of being a family's middle kid.

Readers experience a day in the life of a middle kid, and all the highs and lows of a life in-between. When you're the middle kid, you're never the first nor the last to do anything. You're not the tallest or the smallest; you're babysitting one sibling but teased by the other. Stuck between a bossy older brother and a naive younger sister, Middle Kid feels left out of two worlds. But even if--and maybe especially because--it's always overlooked, this kid's own world is just as big and important as his siblings'.

- From author-illustrator Steven Weinberg--a middle kid himself
- Gently funny and richly detailed
- Starting in the morning and ending at night, readers experience a full day in Middle Kid's shoes

Middle children have classically been sandwiched between the achievements of the older sibling and the needs of the younger one--The Middle Kid gives them a time to shine

- Perfect for beginning readers
- A great empathy read
- Fans of comical books about family
