I’m Number One

How do you deal with a bully?
 
A stellar author-illustrator team shows that a touch of playfulness can go a long way. Little wind-up soldier A-One is in charge. At least that's what he tells the other toys: Sally, Maddy, and Sid. When he tells them to turn his key, they do it. When he tells them they're no good, they feel bad. He calls them all kinds of things: no good, hopeless, the worst.
 
Or was that hope-use, good-no, and less-less? Somehow, stringing all those mean words together makes them start to sound, well, silly -- and even though A-One doesn't mean to, he finds himself smiling too.
 
From the incomparable Michael Rosen and Bob Graham comes an insightful, child-friendly tale about learning how to be one of the gang.
