This is such a sweet story of a middle size bear who realizes that his size is what makes him perfect to accomplish a quest that no one else can accomplish. The writing is lovely and the illustrations are wonderful cut out pictures a la Eric Carle. This would be great for all middle children or just lovers of cute children's books.

An excellent resource for the classroom with excellent illustrations and storytelling.

I have three boys and I know the reality that the middle child faces everyday. They often get overlooked or feel like they don't get treated like the others because they are stuck in the middle, neither big nor small. This book brings to light that struggle and finds a wonderful way of showing how special a middle child can be.

I enjoyed reading this book to my three year old, but he didn't seem very interested in the artwork. TO tell you the truth, I wasn't to intrigued by it myself. It looked like something my Seven year old would do as a school art project. I think the artist was going for something that I didn't find interesting. It wasn't my style.

If you have a middle child give this book a go. Its a fun read.

This would make an excellent book for any soon to be middle child or a child struggling with this spot in their family. It would be a great book for counselors to have on hand or to use as part of a family study. I also loved the unique illustrations.

Being a middle sibling I had to read this book. It points out all the things that geese through a middle siblings mind. It's a cleverly told story with excellent 3D effect illustrations. I enjoyed reading this book a lot.
