Eugene’s story is the story of almost every child who has found himself in the middle. All day, he finds himself trying to tell his own story. He wants to talk about how nicely he can pour his cereal. His sister Winifred interrupts to point out he is spilling. He wants to tell about the shoes he can put on. His sister points out that he has them on the wrong feet. When he tries to say that he’d like to walk the dog, Winifred is quick to interrupt: “We don’t have a dog!” In short, Eugene’s story is that he cannot tell his story. At least not until it is bedtime when he can dream – that he is an only child.

Richard Scrimger evokes a gentle and realistic family life in his tales of Bun Bun, Winifred, and of course, Eugene.

From Booklist:
PreS. Eugene is the second child caught in the middle between his big sister, Winifred, and his little sister, Bun Bun. He tries to tell his story, but he can't do it, because Winifred won't let him. She corrects everything he says, interrupts him, stops him, yells at him ("Your boots are on the wrong feet. . . . No-no-no!"), and jeers at his dreams of independence ("You aren't old enough"). Johnson's small, scribbly cartoon illustrations in line and watercolor are both touching and very funny, evoking the child's fury and frustration in a world where big means control. In style and substance, this is reminiscent of the late William Steig's Grown-Ups Get to Do All the Driving (1995), but here the boss is closer--a sibling, not a grown-up. Second kids, even older ones, will want this. Hazel Rochman
