Everyday treasures on the way to the playground

A walk to the playground becomes a small-scale collecting adventure as a child searches for “wocks.” A bottle cap, a twig, and stones join the finds, turning ordinary surroundings into the subject of close attention. The simple outing gives the story a clear focus on collecting, observation, and the imaginative value a child can place on everyday objects. The book is presented as a picture-book portrait of preschool life, with bright artwork and jaunty dialogue.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A good match for young children who enjoy stories about collecting and finding things outdoors.

Book overview

There are always precious objects to be found if you look, as the young child in this endearing, funny picture book knows. It's a portrait of youthful enthusiasm and the beauty of the everyday, created by a beloved, New York Times bestselling graphic novelist.

On a walk to the playground and back, a child keeps their eyes open for special "wocks" for their collection. A bottlecap, a twig, and many stones make it into their pocket of treasures. It's a charming and relatable day in the life of a preschooler, illustrated in bright, happy artwork and jaunty dialogue--a book that all young collectors will adore.
