Book: Toys Go OutAuthor: Emily Jenkins
Illustrator: Paul O. Zelinsky
Audience: Preschool to 2nd grade
In a Nutshell: the secret lives of toys
A know-it-all StingRay, Lumphy the buffalo, and Plastic have adventures with Show-and-Tell, a picnic, the beach, the Little Girl's high bed, TukTuk the towel, Frank the washing machine, and discovering their true natures: what exactly is a Plastic, and is StingRay a Sinker or a Floater? And will Little Girl still love them whatever they are?
Quaint, cozy story. The toys each have very distinct personalities, and even side characters like the One-Eared Sheep are memorable. Great read-aloud for 4-to-6-year-olds.
