One Present from Flekman's

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Egielski. When Grampa takes Molly to the city to fabulous Flekman's, choosing just one toy proves too hard for her. She completely melts down but comes up smiling when she turns a comforting wet washcloth into a surprisingly versatile toy. The text has some first-class dialogue and memorable funny moments, as do the illustrations, but the tempo and tone are frantic.
