An imaginative child who doesn't quite fit in finds a kindred spirit
in this utterly charming picture book from a debut author-illustrator.
Oliver is different. He enjoys his solitude. He likes playing with his
friends, who are puppets, stuffed animals, and other toys. With his rich
imagination, Oliver's day is never dull. There are bridges to cross,
sharks to fight, and treasures to find! But maybe toys don't always give
a boy everything he needs. Maybe he needs another kind of companion.
Will Oliver discover a way to be, well, different? When his tennis
ball rolls across the lawn into the yard of the girl next door, he just
might be surprised.
