It is bedtime, and a girl is tidying a tremendous mess of toys into a great pile in a laundry basket. Her brother dares her to lift the basket high above her head, which she succeeds in doing. Then he has a try, and fails, dropping the basket and scattering the toys all over the place. This starts a sequence of challenges between the two children. There are some things the boy can do and some things the girl can do.;Penny Dale’s other books include “The Stopwatch”, “Ten in the Bed” and “Wake Mr B!”.
