Eugene's Story

24 pp. | Tundra | November, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-88776-544-0 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gillian Johnson. Eugene, a middle child, tries to tell a story about his life, but his older sister Winifred keeps interrupting with scornful corrections. Finally he edits his siblings out and begins again, depicting himself as a blissful only child. The amusing illustrations alternate between Eugene's and Winifred's versions of the story, but Eugene's fantasy triumphs; readers will likely chuckle when Winifred disappears.
