Bookroo's summary
Number Three is tired of just being a number. He tries life as a ship's anchor, a spatula, and even a sculpture, ignoring pleas to return. But as he ventures through these roles, he begins to miss the unique place he holds. Will Three realize that his true worth lies in being himself? This whimsical tale explores identity and the joy of embracing one's unique talents.
From the publisher
The Number Three is having an identity crisis-there are so many other things he could do with his life; why stop at being just a number? He tries being a ship’s anchor, a spatula, even a shiny bronze sculpture, and he won’t listen when the other numbers beg him to come back to the lineup. But after awhile, Number Three starts to realize that what he enjoys most is the job no one else can do: being the Number Three.
It’s Not Easy Being Number Three is a clever book that celebrates the importance of feeling appreciated for one’s talents.
