This enduring children's classic, made famous by Peter, Paul and Mary as well as John Denver, is full of fun and whimsy. It is complete with sound effects of a toy that we can't identify on the track, and the excellent choral writing is accessible for young choirs to enjoy. This nostalgic novelty about the mysterious toy is a joy in our imagination, and although "I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will," it allows singers and audience to dream of the possibilities. Perfect for concerts at any time of year!
