A little boy is looking for the perfect gift for his friend. But all he finds at McGraw's Emporium is
"A can, a clock, a feathered fan, "
"A vase, a bank, a frying pan, "
"A sword, a couch, a magazine, "
"A lamp that lights with kerosene, "
"A garden hoe, a telescope, "
"A Scrabble game, a coil of rope, "
"A model ship, a baby's crib, "
"A record by the Brothers Gibb..."
In addition to everything McGraw sells, young readers will find compulsively readable verse and funny, unexpected pictures in this remarkably absorbing treasure trove of a book.
