When precocious inventor Albie Newton enters a new preschool, he concocts the perfect plan for making friends.

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.
