Spinning < Melinda J. Irvine

shrieks of excitement
birthday wrappers all torn
spinning toys spin — for hours

A boy shrieks in delight as he opens the gifts from his birthday party — two multi-coloured spin toys. His new plastic tops piece together like a maze, and are launched by a plastic strap. They spun for hours.

Birthdays, Toys
