Trading And Bartering: Books For Kids

Rather than a lemonade stand, Rufus sets up a story stand one summer and makes a series of trades with his friends--a story for a shell, for a kitten, for a surprise, and one more as a special birthday gift for his sister.

> "I'll swap you my dad," I said. > "Oh-oh," said my little sister. What if you wanted your best friend's two goldfish so much that you'd swap anything for them, even your father? What if your mother came home and found out what you'd done? _The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish_ is a hilarious adventure and was the first book for younger readers from the acclaimed author and illustrator of the _New York Times_ best-sellers _The Wolves in the Walls_ and _Coraline._ Chosen as one of _Newsweek_ magazine's Best Children's Books of the Year, _The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish_ is beloved by readers of all ages. This new edition features brand-new jacket art and an afterword by the author on the origins of this unique and wonderfully funny story.
