Description:

Spencer has a truly spectacular problem: his toys are absolutely everywhere. They tumble out of closets, cascade down staircases, carpet every room, and regularly send both parents flying. Robots, stuffed animals, board games, plastic dinosaurs, bath toys, musical instruments — somehow they just keep arriving, from birthdays, holidays, relatives, and even the dentist. When his exasperated mother finally puts her foot down and announces that some of them simply have to go, Spencer is horrified. "But I LOVE them ALL!" What follows is a wonderfully entertaining negotiation, full of desperate arguments, cunning tactics, and plenty of comedy on both sides. In the end, Spencer does manage to fill a box — though the one thing he decides he absolutely cannot part with is the box itself! Caldecott Honor winner David Shannon's gloriously chaotic, expressive illustrations make this a sidesplitting and deeply relatable read for children and parents alike.
