Bub Kindle Edition

Great book for any middle child! Beautiful illustrations.

Being a middle child can be hard. Heck being any order child can be hard. Life is just hard, sometimes.​​Bub feels overlooked and neglected. Overshadowed by his older sister's accomplishments and his baby sister's cuteness. And lost behind his loving, but boisterous, parents. In a deceptively simple and touching book, a sensitive, middle-child monster, Bub, deals with an exceptionally loud, annoying day.Illustrated with the flair we've come to expect from Elizabeth Rose Stanton, the soft, watercolor images of a green monster in baggy, blue overalls (and his entire family) are endearing. Peppered throughout the story are pictures of her other picture book characters (Henny & Peddles), and a few other monsters, who interact with the story.This is a great book for introverts, middle children, and anyone that feels invisible to their family or friends, or maybe just a bit overwhelmed.

I love Elizabeth Rose Stanton's art style so much. This is a fun read aloud, and great for middle kids, kids who hate loud environments (like I did). She really captures that feeling of being stuck - but also overlooked.

Such a sweet, wise, little monster. Fun to read and the illustrations are awesome. As usual. E.R Stanton is a pro with the storyline and the frame worthy illustrations!
