When Steve meets Steve the competition begins
I’m Steve
But I was here first.
BY ONE PAGE!
The first Steve to speak in the book assures the other Steve that he can be Steve the Second.
No deal.
If they determine who is the oldest that should solve the problem.
Nope. Not that easy.
Maybe whichever one is the wisest, tallest, or can catch the most fish should be called Steve.
Nope.
Maybe name calling will work.
You’ve got weird feet.
WEIRD FEET STEVE!
Well, you smell.
SMELLS LIKE POO STEVE.
One Steve smells himself and says he doesn’t smell like poo. The other examines his feet and declares them to be just fine. Both look at each other and apologize and decide to go bowling. But as they get ready to bowl something rather unusual happens.
My Thoughts
What Concerned me: I’m not a fan of adding words like poo just to get a giggle, it doesn’t really draw me to a book.
What I Liked Most:Â The bright yellow pages and the fact that the two toucans were able to work out their concerns and move on should draw both parents and kids.
