Henry is obsessed with getting as much as his sister till it comes to the dentist and he realizes he doesn't want as much as her (cavities) and takes a step towards kindness when he let's her get one more kiss, at night, too. Good evolution and math in fiction. My son read this to me when he was in first grade.
