Synopsis

One can have fun alone, thinks Everett Anderson. And when it's just Everett and his mama-- well, two is fine, too. But three...Everett tries to understand why Mama and Mr. Perry like to spend so much time together, although it's hard, at first. But after a while, Everett admits that "three can be crowded or be just right or even too many." He thinks he just might get used to that number, after all!

From Publishers Weekly:

This collection of brief verses, first published in 1977, chronicles Everett's anxieties when his favorite twosome himself and Mama attracts a new neighbor who comes calling for Mama. With the sparest of lines, Clifton conveys an array of emotions, as do Grifalconi's two-tone drawings. Ages 4-8.
