A toy tractor and its driver turn Jed's bedroom rug into dirt. The toy farmer tills the field until, to Jed's bewilderment, sprouts begin to grow. Nash's art neatly corroborates the magical story; the "real" part of Jed's world is shaded and nuanced, while the fantastical part is cartoony.

Bathman, an ordinary boy in everyday life, becomes a superhero at bathtime. He answers a call for help and plunges into the tub among his toys, where he rescues a rubber duck from Cap'n Squeegee, "the terror of the tub." With its playful text enclosed in white boxes, this amusing comic book-style story is accompanied by vigorous illustrations.
