Illustrated by
Christine Davenier.
While Mom is on the phone, Dad is e-mailing, and big sister's playing with her friend, a boy feels abandoned. No one seems to cares when he hides, makes a mess, and cuts a hole in his jeans. The liveliness of the text and playfulness of the illustrations bring the boy's feelings to the surface without being too much of a bummer.
