Wonderful book for 'middles'!
5 Nov 2008
Format:Hardcover
Author-illustrator Jan Fearnley's "Martha in the Middle" is the perfect book for middle children. The charming story centers around young Martha, a mouse who feels she is constantly being sandwiched between older sis, Clara, and younger brother Ben. She gets so sick of being in the middle that she decides to 'run away', until a chance encounter with a wise frog makes her look at her position with a fresh perspective.
The text is simple and perfect for reading aloud and the full-color illustrations convey all the frustrations Martha faces as a middle child with a perfect blend of wit and humor. This is definitely a must-read for those with a child in the middle, but also for all preschoolers who like a well-told story.

Outstanding book for a middle child but great for any child.
3 April 2009
Format:Hardcover
This is my newest favorite book. I'm guessing I relate because as a middle child, I felt just like Martha; stuck in the middle, squashed in the middle, invisible in the middle.
Martha grows tired of being ignored and decides to runaway. She thinks "They won't even care that I'm gone." Along the way, she meets a very wise frog who teaches her the middle is the best part, the sweetest part and the juiciest part. Once Martha realizes the middle is special, things start to change. Jan Fearnley's large, colorful and whimsical illustrations, mixed with her text, make Martha in the middle an outstanding book for any child. However, it will leave a middle child feeling understood and special.

for the one in the middle
6 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
For a granddaughter in the middle I think this is a very good book. From the perspective of being that particular age, it mentions the trials and tribulations of being younger than and older than your siblings. A complex stage of dealing with life issues.
