"The Marvelous Toy" was written by Tom Paxton. This is one of my favorite children's songs. It has been recorded by Tom Paxton, Peter, Paul & Mary The Irish Rovers, The Chad Mitchell Trio and others. Other Tom Paxton songs in this collection are: "The Last Thing on My Mind" "My Dog's Bigger Than Your Dog" "Ramblin' Boy "What Did You Learn in School Today?"
