Janet's Thingamajigs

Everyone needs thingamajigs and four-year-old Janet means to keep her thingamajigs to herself. Each day Janet carefully chooses three little thingamajigs. And each day she neatly wraps them in a paper bag and puts them in her crib -- safe from her brother Jimmys meddling hands. But when the bags fill Janets crib Mother is at her wits end until she saves the day by giving the twins a big surprise that makes Janets paper-bag collection a thingamajig of the past. In this delightful new Jimmy and Janet story Newbery medalist Beverly Cleary vividly recreates the pride a child takes in growing up. DyAnne DiSalvo-Ryans appealing softly colored illustrations make this a true-to-life classic that is sure to find a place in every childs heart.
