Alfred the pug is adorable, yet no people provide him with affection; instead, he suffers many taunts, until he meets Rex, his mirror image. In PW's words, "This amiable tale of self-confidence challenges its cruel title, and word-slinging bullies, at every turn." Ages 3-6. (May) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

of self-confidence challenges its cruel title, and word-slinging
bullies, at every turn." --Publishers Weekly"A well-done,
convincing story of friendship and self-esteem." --School
Library Journal"Delightfully spare pictures."
