Timothy is very excited about starting school--until he meets Claude.
Claude sits next to him, and he wears all the right clothes, says all
the right things, and garners all the praise from his teacher and
classmates. Timothy is feeling down, until he meets a girl who's having
the same problem with her seatmate...."Children will easily relate to
this tale, in which humor and realism effectively mesh." --Booklist,
