You can see more of his books and artwork
here. His illustrations are bright, detailed, fun.
Blurb from his website: Spencer has too many toys! His father trips over them, his mother falls over them, and the house is overflowing with junk. Now its time to give some of the mountain of goodies away, but Spencer finds it hard. In the end, he fills a box, but decides the one toy he can’t part with is the box itself!
This is a book that both parents and children can relate to as at some point, all of us need to de-junk our houses.
How goes the toy parade at your house?
Looks like such a fun book... I'm pretty sure at our house, the toys are MINE, not the kids!
