Yet when Arnie falls down the school steps and breaks a leg! twists a wrist! and sprains a tail! he begins to see life from a different perspective. With few books about mainstreaming available! this entertaining story should be welcome".--Booklist. Full color. Zusammenfassung Able-bodied Arnie teases Philip—a new student at his school who uses a wheelchair.
