Special Delivery — Brigitte Weninger

One day the doorbell rings. A big brown box is delivered. It's the vacuum cleaner Mother ordered. She is delighted and tries it out right away. But then the doorbell rings again and there on the doorstep is another big box addressed to Mother. What could it be? Mother pokes and prods and tries to guess until finally the secret is revealed—a surprise pop-up of her little boy jumping out of the box. Here is a sweet and simple story about a wise mother who, in playing along with her son's game, reaffirms their warm and loving relationship.
