Illustrated by
Garry Parsons.
Billy insists he wants nothing more for his birthday than a bucket. He spends the day staring into his water-filled bucket, naming all the ocean-going animals and vehicles he sees. Billy's amused parents play along, but are shocked by what happens when they use his bucket without permission to wash the car. Vivid illustrations set the reader's imagination loose.
