ONLY ME: A Week in the Life of Eddie

Fans of Arthur, Henry and Mudge and “Little Kid Big City” will love ONLY ME, a chapter book for grade-schoolers. The story is a flashback to when Eddie was still in kindergarten, a very important age to come to terms with things that don’t feel very best at all. For Eddie, that would be the fact that he is an only child. And no, it doesn’t matter that there are kids in New York City as well as all over the world who don’t have siblings. This is Eddie’s Upper West Side story. All his.
