Description
Description
From the author-illustrator of Something Extraordinary comes a tale filled with dragons, pickles, friendship, and lots of mail--perfect for fans of Mo Williams and Bob Shea. Liam really wants some mail, so he writes a letter to his mailbox asking for something in return. His mailbox delivers, sending Liam more than he could have hoped for...and how! But as the mail starts to pile up, Liam realizes that the best packages and parcels are even better when shared with friends.

Critical Reviews

"Lively, humorous, and child-appealing."--Kirkus Reviews
"[A] genial twist on a fable of greed."--Publishers Weekly
"Clanton's latest picture book reminds readers that the mailbox is and will always be a magical invention, no matter where you live in the world. Storytimes and classroom units on community helpers will be enlivened by a read-aloud of this selection."--School Library Journal

"The wish-fulfillment plot will appeal to kids."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
