Illustrated by
Nancy Winslow Parker.
A young boy energetically demands items that will make him feel better--a box of tissues, a blanket, the cat, jigsaw puzzles, TV cartoons. . . . Rebus pictures stand in for each item on the list so that children can easily join in "reading" the rhyming, cumulative text. Colorful pictures of the boy's comfortable surroundings and favorite things reinforce the appeal of staying home.
