The Top Spot: Is Winning Always Worth It?

For fans of MR. TIGER GOES WILD and I WANT MY HAT BACK, author-illustrator Frank Weber presents style, stunning illustrations, and sly humor in THE TOP SPOT, which explores themes of happiness and the why of competing in the rat race called life. A little ibex is challenged to compete against the bigger ibexes for the top spot in the herd, a contest the little ibex stands no chance of winning. With the help of a wise mountain goat, the little ibex returns home, outsmarts his rivals, and claims the top spot. But is it everything he thought it would be? Frank Weber�s debut, MORE DUNG!, combined scatological humor with existential angst. THE TOP SPOT continues the existential tradition, inviting young readers to continue asking their favorite question: why?
