by Jan Fearnley
The problem with being a middle child is that someone else is always being praised for either being grown-up or terribly cute. But in this tale, a wise frog shows Martha the middle mouse all the wondrous things that are in the middle (the juiciest part of the watermelon, the nectar of a flower), making her feel that the middle is the very best place to be.
