Martha in the Middle

(3) PS Squashed in the middle, mouse Martha is neither a "big, sensible, grown-up girl" like her sister nor a "cutesy-wootsy little baby" like her brother. A wise frog points out the greatness of middles: the yummy centers of sunflowers (their seeds), watermelons, and peapods. Expressive watercolors and unpreachy text sensitively relate the frustrations and joys of being a middle child.
