Sometimes it's hard to decide what kind of gift you'd like best, even if you're not a 4-year-old boy. In this cheerful, engaging picture book, young Paul compromises by choosing ordinary things that magically turn into extraordinary things. When he asks his mom for a flower he is really asking for "a giant flower that would grow as high as the sky." (The page of flowers folds out into two more pages that show Paul up in the sky clinging to the flower, surrounded by odd-looking birds.) In the end, Paul's mother gives him a book, the ultimate "ordinary thing that magically turns into an extraordinary thing." The colorful full-page illustrations--created by Florence Langlois--are endearingly simple, slightly goofy, and sure to delight early readers. (Ages 3 to 5)
