Toys Go Out by Emily Jenkins
Lumphy is a stuffed buffalo. StingRay is a stuffed stingray. And Plastic, well Plastic isn't quite sure what she is. They all belong to the Little Girl who lives on the high bed with the fluffy pillows.
The three toys are best friends, and are happy doing things together. They explore the basement, look up things in the dictionary, and argue about life, and the washing machine.
This would be a good book to read to children, especially children that feel a connection with their toys. My favorite character is a wise towel named TukTuk that hangs in the bathroom and seems to know the answer to all questions, and Frank, the washing machine, was also memorable.
The toys have a variety of adventures, mishaps and learning experiences that involve making choices. Together they face dogs, school, television commercials, the vastness of the sea and the terrifying bigness of the washing machine. I thought I was going to like this book more than I did, but I can see why children would enjoy it.
You can find Toys Go Out in the intermediate section of the library.
