(4) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. "My neighbor Jake can be a real jerk," says Tyler. Jake is constantly belittling Tyler's accomplishments and boasting about his own. With the help of his uncle, Tyler learns that Jake's bragging is no reflection of Tyler's abilities. Story line takes a backseat to the heavy moral lesson, but the book (with foreword and backmatter aimed at adults) accomplishes its goal.
