It Came in the Mail

DESCRIPTION: Young Liam loves the mail... but, often as he checks the mailbox (which is very, very often), there's never anything for him. When he decides to write his own letter, he finally gets his very own mail... more than he knows what to do with!
REVIEW: It's been a while since I managed to read a picture book at work, but today I managed it. It's a fun little story about a boy learning that you can indeed have too much of a good thing... but not one of those where he has to go back to having absolutely nothing to show for his efforts. The art is fun, with numerous visual gags and puns adding to the overall whimsy. I enjoyed it, at least, and not just because the first thing the kindly mailbox sends Liam is a dragon (though of course that's a bonus).
