When Peter is told to clean his very messy room, he gets two boxes: one for things to keep and one for things to throw away. Easy enough—until Peter begins imagining all the wonderful things that could be made from every old key, stick, spool, and seemingly useless treasure he finds.
Written and illustrated by Harvey Weiss, this wonderfully inventive 1967 picture book is a celebration of imagination, resourcefulness, and the childhood conviction that almost anything might come in handy someday.
