If you are looking for a very special gift to give a child in your life the Christmas…Here it is!
It went zip! when it moved
And bop! when it stopped
And Whirr! when it stood still.
It was The Marvelous Toy!
For nearly half a century, “The Marvelous Toy”-composed by the legendary singer/songwriter Tom Paxton-has enchanted children and adults alike. A simple tale about a mysterious, magical, and mystical toy that a father gives to his son-and that eventually gets passed down to the next generation celebrates a child’s sense of wonder. The witty, evocative lyrics spark the imagination. No surprise, then, that the song has been recorded by countless major artists, from Peter, Paul, and Mary to the Chad Mitchell Trio to John Denver, and won legions of fans through the years.
Paxton’s marvelous song has finally become a stunning picture book-oversized, wonderfully packaged, and complete with a CD offering three songs sung by Tom himself plus a music-only version of “The Marvelous Toy” to sing along with. Featuring incredible and wildly imaginative art by Steve Cox, illustrator of the award-winning Pigs Might Fly, the story is now as amazing to look at as it always has been to listen to.
This is such a great book and CD combo. It will be passed from generation to generation as children try to imagine what The Marvelous Toy could be and you will find yourself singing the song and reading the book time and time again.

My daughter is a singer. We’re looking for some great new things for her to learn and sing during the holidays.
For my niece Hannah!
Pete Seeger’s quote sums up why I want to win: “Tom’s songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they’re becoming part of America.”
I love that quality in a good music CD, and the book looks splendid.
I would love this book for my daughter to share with her son. Some of their most memorable moments are her reading to him! He is 5 and she is 23 .When she reads to him it is with such passion and color—it just amazes me! This is why I would love to win this book and just in time for Christmas too! Thanks,A.Anderson
