When Grandma sends her grandson a backpack, he can't wait to fill it with interesting things. His toy train fits just right. His bock and his big brother's baseball socks fit perfectly, too. And there's still room for more, including his teddy bear, his mother's keys, and the family cat! It's amazing what you can fit in a backpack if you really try. Eve Bunting's lively, rhyming picture book is perfect for reading aloud and is happily illustrated by Maryann Cocca-Leffler.

"Cocca-Leffler is adroit at capturing the comic realities of family life."

 

"Cocca-Leffler is adroit at capturing the comic realities of family life - children should get a particular kick out of seeing Dad peering under an armchair for his missing reading glasses, his derriere in the air." --"Publishers Weekly"

 

"The rhyming text begs to be read aloud. . . . Pack this in your preschool-storytime bag." --"School Library Journal"

 

"Bright and expressive, the colorful artwork centers on the child, his emotions, and his delight in familiar, everyday things. Preschoolers who wear glasses, too, a rare sight in picture books." --"Booklist"
