"I&&&^ll be just a minute!" Johnny MacGuffin&&&^s mother calls as she sails away past the purses and plates, up the up excalator in Bindle&&&^s department store.

Johnny is stuck waiting again.
The minutes crawl and soon Johnny is sure days have flown by, and months have come and gone. He&&&^s waited so long that he&&&^s even grown up, bought a house on the hill, and had kids!

Bonny Becker reminds us all how hard and how funny waiting can be. Jack E. Davis&&&^s frenetic illustrations capture Johnny&&&^s overactive imagination perfectly and will have readers laughing out loud.
