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.

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.
