Quintessentially funny Judy Blume!

Second-grader Freddy Dissel has that left-out kind of feeling. Life seems lonely when you're the middle kid in the family. Freddy feels like "the peanut butter part of a sandwich", squeezed between an older brother and little sister. But now, for the first time, it's Freddy's chance to show everyone, including himself, just how special he is!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Author

This is a great story for children! I bought it for my sister as a joke. She's an adult, but we used to fight over who was the middle child of the family when we were kids. Anyway, we both felt much like the main character in the book.
Judy Blume is really a great childrens book author when it comes to writing stories that really bring out the feelings kids have about different topics. I loved her books when I was a kid, I guess I felt understood.
It will make a great gift along with the green kangaroo I plan to make and gift along with this book. She'll get a kick out of it! And itll end the arguement of what color the kangaroo is. And my nieces and nephews who live next door will get to enjoy it, too!

This is a great book for high readers in first grade who are ready to start chapter books and also for low second graders. Both boys and girls like it.

My daughter (2nd grade) read this book as part of her class and had an AR test on it. She liked this book and felt she could relate.

It is a great introduction to chapter books. She read and understood it quickly. As a second grader she enjoyed completing it quickly. As a parent, I think she needs a more advanced book. So I would recommend this to first graders as a challenge and second grade as light reading.

I got this for my classroom. It is great because its a picture book but the original is a chapter book. I had to go though and label where each chapter should start so it would work with my lesson.

I was a middle child and remembered my mom reading this book to me (I'm now over 40). As soon as I had a middle child I bought this book for him and he loves having something special about being the middle child.
