The Middle

By Joshua David Stein

Is a hot dog a sandwich, or not a sandwich, or . . . something in between? A playful introduction to the concept of "the middle."

Young children often think in extremes--black or white, happy or sad, mean or nice--but what about the in-between? This exploration of the in-between by beloved author Joshua David Stein delves into days that are just so-so, goodbyes that bring mixed emotions, lukewarm baths, and even a platypus, which is "in the middle of - who knows what?" With humorous and nuanced illustrations by award-winning illustrator Christopher Silas Neal, this unusual book invites young readers to find their own truths in the middle.
