Finally, Carl allows himself to acknowledge what happened to him all those years ago, and face the question that’s been idling in his mind for a quarter of a century: where did the ransom go?

What About Me?

He has a fit of jealousy at just about everything, until he gets pampered and forced into a hug which makes his brothers and sisters feel very jealous and makes our little monster, very happy. A great picture book to encourage emotional resilience and explore the emotions of jealousy.
