Kids say, “it's not fair.” But everyone can find something to grumble about. Babies may think they got stuck with funny feet. Baseball fans may ask why their team always loses. The book starts with the things we all complain about, then it takes off into complete silliness. There are spiders who don't get enough flies, monsters who don't have enough eyes, pigs who want to fly and, in the end, a very nice surprise. Read this book to find out how this book confirms feelings, then gives a laugh about those who are even more ridiculous than we are.
