Elmore Green starts life as an only child, as many children do. He has a room to himself, where he can line up his precious things and nobody will move them one inch. But one day everything changes. When the new small person comes along, it seems that everybody might like it a bit more than they like Elmore. And when the small person knock's over Elmore's things and even licks his jelly-bean collection, Elmore wants the small person to go back to wherever it came from. Then, one night, everything changes...
