Illustrated by
Edwin Fotheringham.
The trials and tribulations of middle children get zesty, energetic treatment in this story of a penguin chick, Tony, whose only ally is his favorite stuffed animal. Expansive digital illustrations marked by cheery blocks of primary color chart Tony's endurance, which inevitably reaches a snapping point. Readers will be happy when Big Sister Baloney finally gives Tony a break--even if her benevolence can't last.
