THE BIGGER THEY COME

Gilbert, new boy at school, loves to dance to the music in his head, ""the music of cowboys and Indians, of cops and robbers, of astronauts and men from outer space."" But when the schoolyard bully starts forcing him to dance, Gilbert just can't move -- until one day a new kind of music comes into his head: the HEAVYWEIGHT-CHAMPIONSHIP-OF-THE-WHOLE-WORLD music. From that point no one needs a score to foresee a defeated bully, new friends for Gilbert, and the hero dancing home to ""the happiest music that had ever come into his head."" No one will hear the music either.
