Moe Is Best

(3) K-3 I Like to Read series. Confident Moe says "I am the best" after brushing his teeth, tying his shoes, etc. His older siblings constantly undercut him ("What a mess!"). Only when Moe realizes his limitations--he can't get a basketball through a hoop--do his siblings soften: "You are the best at trying." It's an improbably affecting story given its modest vocabulary and simple, cartoony illustrations.
