When she doesn't respond, Gipp decides he'll impress her with his magic wand but instead accidentally destroys Vera's toy! Attempting to cheer her up, Gipp offers to use his wand to replace the catnip mouse, suggesting a series of fantastical rhyming alternatives. Would Vera like a ketchup joust? No. A cattle blouse? No! How about a cactus house? NO! Vera's had enough. And soon neither of them has their favorite toy. Is there some way the friends can patch things up? Writer and illustrator A. J. Smith has created a delightfully silly picture book filled with inventive language and fanciful images. This entertaining rhyming word game is tucked inside a warm and satisfying emotional story about friend.
