"Pablo and his dad are ready for a fun day together at the farmer's market-what's better than a bike ride, doughnuts, and hot apple cider? But Pablo's dad says that everything Pablo picks out is too big for him. It's just no fair! What if he was in charge and his dad was the kid, Pablo wonders. And his dad stops to think about it, too. This light-hearted but thoughtful look at fairness introduces a important subject that everyone encounters throughout their lives."--… (more)

Dad (dialogue in dark brown text) and Pablo (dialogue in red text) head to the market, Dad on his comically big bicycle, Pablo on his small one (with a comically big dog, Waffles). Throughout their market adventure, Pablo claims "No fair!" while Dad explains or equivocates ("If you can't carry it home, you can't choose it. That is fair"). Eventually, Pablo explodes, asking his dad to understand what it's like, to which his dad thoughtfully replies, "I know....Being small is not always fair. When you're big, you'll find even more things that are not fair. But we can always try to make it right." In the end, Pablo seizes the larger donut - but then shares with Waffles. And then, while Dad is loaded down with all the groceries, Pablo shouts, "Come on, Dad, I'll race you home!" To which Dad replies: "NO FAIR!" ( )
