--The New York Times Book Review

Jameson only ever wears green pants. But if he wants to be in his cousin's wedding, he's going to have to wear a tuxedo, and that means black pants. How can he not wear green pants? Will Jameson turn down this big honor, or will he find a way to make everyone happy, including himself? In this pitch-perfect ode to individualism, acclaimed author-illustrator Kenneth Kraegel creates a character readers of all ages can root for -- whatever color pants they wear.
