About this item
Meet Albie Newton: child genius. He's a whiz at inventing things. But is he inventive enough to figure out how to make friends? When precocious inventor Albie Newton enters a new preschool, he concocts the perfect plan for making friends. Unfortunately, it involves stealing the hamster's wheel, snatching the wings off of Dave's toy airplane, and generally making a giant mess. Now everyone's angry at Albie! Will his new invention delight the other kids enough to make everything right - and finally win their friendship? With this delightful rhyming picture book, favorite author Josh Funk (Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast) has written another winner.
