Meet the Big Cheese! Here to join fellow New York Times Bestsellers—the Bad Seed, the Good Egg, the Cool Bean, the Couch Potato, the Smart Cookie, and the Sour Grape—is an irresistible hunk of cheddar who realizes there’s more to life than winning. The 7th Food Group picture book from the #1 New York Times Bestselling Team of Jory John and Pete Oswald.

The Big Cheese is the best at everything, and brags about it, too. When the annual Cheese-cathlon comes around, the Big Cheese is prepared to win, as always. But then the quiet new kid, Wedge Wedgeman, comes out on top! Is a slice of humility all the Big Cheese needs to discover that some things are better than being the best?  Readers of all ages will laugh along as they learn how grate life can be when you celebrate others as much as yourself.
