Me First




















written by Helen Lester and illustrated by Lynn Munsinger
grades- k-3

Pinkerton Pig just has to be first at everything- especially during a trip to the beach with his scout troop. While playing at the beach, Pinkerton hears someone calling, "would anyone care for a sandwich?" Immediately, he hurries to be the first to get a delicious snack. Little does he know, but he will be caring for a Sand Witch, not enjoying a sandwich. In the rush to be first, he learns that being first is not always best.

This hilarious lesson of poor manners and piggishness is sure to elicit giggles. Clever and fun, Munsinger brings Lester's characters to life with her imaginative illustrations.

This sounds pretty great. I think I may need to check this one out soon. Parker is all about being first at home lately :)

It's a really fun book- trust me when I say that taking care of a sand witch is not all it's cracked up to be!
