by Dorothy Aldis ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 12, 1965
That was how David was classified by his older brother. It's a pretty exact drama in rhyme of sibling rivalry as the two boys accompany their mother on a shopping trip. David charms everyone with his gurgling helplessness, while his sulky brother manages to show off the most unappealing attributes. The message is pointed but cheerfully so. Unfortunately the versification seems unnecessary and rather clumsy, which detracts somewhat from the point.
