A day when all your wishes come true. Octember the first is the day on which all your most outlandish wishes come true. If March is too dusty and April too gusty, if May is too early and June is too soon, just try to remember the first of Octember, when whatever you are hoping to get will be yours! From a balloon pool in the sky to a pickle tree in your backyard, Please Try to Remember the First of Octember!

A boy and rabbit both have two eyes that see all kinds of things, from blue and red to a bird and a bed.

A boy imagines what it would be like if he had such things as duck feet, a whale spout, and an elephant's trunk.

Poses questions for pondering: "Would you rather be a dog or be a cat?", "Would you rather live in igloos or in tents?", "Would you rather be a mermaid with a tail instead of feet?"
