Cooper and the Enchanted Metal Detector

(2) 4-6 Cooper and his mother run an antiques store out of their barn, but now Mom doesn't leave the house and bills have piled up. Then Cooper acquires a metal detector and begins unearthing Revolutionary War relics. Osterweil effectively captures Cooper's earnest, engaging voice and his quirky fantasy world, where he communicates with Squeaky (his bicycle) and Decto (his metal detector).
