“This engaging tale offers messages about being oneself, accepting differences, and forging friendships.” —Publishers Weekly

Meet Albie Newton: child genius. He’s a whiz at inventing things. But is he inventive enough to figure out how to make friends?

When precocious inventor Albie Newton enters a new preschool, he concocts the perfect plan for making friends. Unfortunately, it involves stealing the hamster’s wheel, snatching the wings off of Dave’s toy airplane, and generally making a giant mess. Now everyone’s angry at Albie! Will his new invention delight the other kids enough to make everything right—and finally win their friendship? With this delightful rhyming picture book, favorite author Josh Funk (Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast) has written another winner.

    Albie is the new kid in school and he's anxious about making new friends. He's quirky, and his methods confuse and frustrate his classmates until they finally understand what he's been up to. A wonderful book about acceptance, creativity and having the confidence to be yourself. Teachers, it's a wonderful book for September!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Albie Newton just wants to make friends.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018
    Format: Hardcover
    This picture book in verse is from Josh Funk, one of our family’s favorite authors. Albie Newton is a boy genius-inventor-classmate who is always thinking and creating, much to the dismay of his peers. When Albie moves to a new school in the middle of the year, he wants to make new friends, so he spends his time inventing something amazing (instead of playing with the others).

    Well, after Albie dumps the garbage can and steals the wheel from the hamster cage, the class notices that he’s tearing up the room. “But Albie didn’t notice all the problems he was causing. Focused on important things, he never thought of pausing.” When the kids form an “angry mob” to confront the pest, Shirley (a girl who sees Albie differently) comes to Albie’s defense.

    Maybe it takes effort to make friends, and what IS acceptable effort? Albie’s actions may get him into trouble, but at the end of the day, do his actions lead to friendships? Read Albie Newton and find out. Make sure you look carefully at all the illustrations by Ester Garay, too. There are secrets, clues, and references to popular culture hidden throughout the book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Conversation Starter for Kids
    Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2018
    Format: Hardcover
    Albie is a funny little boy. He has many interests. Before long, he was a very popular kid in class. He was so smart, everyone wanted to be his friend.

    He was also a very curious little boy. When he set his mind on something, all he could think about was accomplishing his goal. One day he wanted to create something. Albie kept on getting supplies. When the other children came to play, there was nothing left. Confused and all, they soon realized who was the culprit.

    I have to say this was a very cute book. Kids in general make mistakes. While Albie was a fun boy, he struggled with control. He did not realize what he was doing had an effect on the children in his class. By reading this book, we had many great conversations that came up.

    I would say this funny book is an amazing conversation starter. This is silly story engages kids and opens the doors to ideas they may not have been aware of. I would recommend this book. The perfect classroom read-aloud.

    I received this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine and were in no way influenced by outside sources. I Am a professional blogger at LittleLadyPlays

    3.0 out of 5 stars Missed opportunity :(
    Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2020
    Format: Hardcover
    This book has great art and a wonderful street story set up... Albie is a super smart inventor kid who goes to school and wants to make friends by making them something. He swipes things for building throughout the classroom during the day, upsetting the other kids. They go to confront him and find he has built them a space ship time machine. They understand that he meant well but there is no resolution to his inconsiderate behavior (like ripping the wings of a toy plane that one kid is playing with). I think this is a huge missed opportunity. The book ends abruptly and feels incomplete. It's really a shame because all the other parts of the book are great. I also don't think it makes a great stem book because there is literally no talk about problem solving... Albie is just super smart with an interest in building. In the end it's ok that he's been rude because he's so smart.

    This is a fun story about a young inventor who is misunderstood. The kids in Albie's class are upset by his antics, including stealing the hamster wheel and making explosions. But when they see what he's been working on, new friendships start to grow.

    If you have a tinkerer in your house, they will love Albie Newton.

    Told in fun and rollicking rhyme, Albie uses his biggest talent and greatest passion to win over friends at school. But his single minded drive to create has him stealing glue, breaking toys, and causing a commotion.

    Lucky for Albie, spunky little Shirley has a talent too -- she is very observant! Kids will love pouring back over this book to spy Shirley keeping tabs on Albie. And a good thing she does! (You'll have to grab the book to see why!)
