Description
You can find joy in the simplest objects—even a humble rubber band! You can have fun pinging it or playing with it in the bath. But you can also use it to do exciting, unexpected things, like bungee jumping out of a plane, or sneaking a furtive snack. The only limit is your imagination!
Renowned author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake brings his trademark wit and thoughtfulness to this charming book, which honours children's attachment to their favourite things while opening the door to a world of exciting new objects and experiences.
