Resentful of the limits his mother sets, Billy takes a fantasy trip to a land where there are no limits--"where there is more of everything." There, he plays and eats until--predictably--he has finally had enough. Clark uses language well and provides an amusing reversal of mother-child roles at the end. Bright colors and curving shapes help depict Billy's imaginary land.
