Asked by his mother what wondrous gift he would like, a little boy with a vivid imagination describes presents that will entertain and amaze children. The bold, richly painted illustrations will make youngsters giggle with delight; unfold the pages to see what magical transformations each simple gift undergoes! A boat grows feet to walk on land! A giant pumpkin turns into an orange racing car! A striped sweater disguises the boy as a zebra so he can play with animals! A horrible witch can ... well, maybe he doesn't want a horrible witch.
All these wonderful gifts are within the boy's grasp, as his mother presents him with a truly extraordinary gift: a book!
