Description Ira and Malcolm are best friends: they always make each other laugh, always eat lunch together, and always play together. But one day, a disagreement about whether to play tag or hide-and-seek sees the suddenly uber-popular Malcolm run off with a crowd of tag-loving kids, and Ira all alone. Ira's tummy hurts, his chin is wibbling, and his eyes are leaking. What's happening?! Any efforts to cheer him up fall flat. When Malcolm finally returns and asks what's wrong, Ira tells him: "I had all these feelings, and I didn't have you." The second Ira Crumb book marks the return of an endearing character full of personality, humor and heart. With lots of laughs and comics-style storytelling, it's a funny, touching look at how feelings can be confusing, and how processing emotions can take time, and a bit of help from a pretty good friend.
