A Comical View of Life

I'm currently reading a very short book about a little boy named Charlie.

Charlie thinks he spends too much time doing things that he doesn't really want to do, so he decides to pack up everything he has and travel the world to find things that are more worth his while.

I wanted to share a little excerpt that makes me smile every time I read it:

"And pack up his time he did:
starting with his big, bulky decades,
then round, squishy years,
the square, mushy months,
triangular, shiny weeks,
and raggedy days,
tons of silky, smooth hours,
and crumpled minutes."

This book is so cute and the moral so simple, I decided this will be my Christmas gift to my nephew Jake. But I'm holding off on the wrapping because I keep picking it up to read it.
