Poor Zane! He is the last straw for everything. Last when lined up shortest to tallest. Last one picked for teams at recess. And last when seated in ABC order. When Zane signs up for a talent show, he hopes it's his chance to be first at something. But if he doesn't have a talent to dazzle the audience, is he doomed to be in last place again? Story is followed by directions on how to do "blow painting with straws" - a fun activity to enjoy as a family!
