Clem goes out and leaves best friend, Shorty, with a big problem. There’s a beautiful, interesting package just sitting there on the floor. Shorty (a shortysaurus) is dying to open the package even though it’s not addressed to him! It’s addressed to Clem! Shorty’s imagination goes berserk! What if it’s a bongo? A monkey? A bongo-playing monkey? Shorty is a mess, tortured by his passionate desire to know what’s inside. Follow his deep desire to open the box or wait until Clem comes home? Every child will relate to the excitement and mystery that come with imagining what’s in a wrapped-up package—as well as the heroic patience required to wait until it’s the time to open it. With brilliant colors, hilarious expressions, and text in groovy-looking word bubbles, kids will relate and will very quickly be reading the book on their own.
