Dog lovers will adore this imperfect yet endearing mutt and his quest
for excellence!
***Winner of an Ezra Jack Keats New Author Honor Award!***
Everyone in the Ellis family is excellent--except Ed.
Ed wonders if this is why he isn't allowed to eat at the table or sit on
the couch with the other children. So he's determined to find his own
thing to be excellent at--only to be (inadvertently) outdone by a family
member every time.
Now Ed is really nervous--what if he's not excellent enough to belong in
this family?
This funny and endearing story offers a subtle look at sibling rivalry
and self esteem, and will reassure kids that everyone is excellent at
something, and that your family loves you, just as you are.
