Book Description
"It went ZIP when it moved and BOP when it stopped and WHIRR when it stood still. . . ". This is the classic story of a magical gift that a father gives his son, who, when he grows up, passes it on to his own son. Written in 1961, "The Marvelous Toy" is Tom Paxton's signature song, an upbeat, irresistible tune that's a favorite of baby boomers and their children. Full color.
