The Middle-Child Blues

(2) K-3 Illustrated by David Catrow. "I've got the middle-child blues. / I feel forgotten and confused... / And I am REALLY not amused." Things improve after pompadoured "Mid-Kid" Lee picks up his guitar and attracts a crowd of, among others, fellow middle children; no one can ignore a rock star, even one wearing "middle-sized shoes." Catrow's irreverent day-glo caricatures are in tune with Crow's catchy song of woe.
