"A bit like the great movie Toy Story and a bit like the wonderful
Kate DiCamillo book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. This is a
great family book." --The Washington Post
Here is the first book in the highly acclaimed Toys trilogy, which
includes the companion books Toy Dance Party and Toys Come Home and
chronicles the unforgettable adventures of three brave and loving toys.
In these six linked stories from Emily Jenkins, and illustrated by
Caldecott Medal winner Paul O. Zelinsky, readers will meet three
extraordinary friends. 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. A very nice person to belong to.
Together is best for these three best friends. Together they look things
up in the dictionary, explore the basement, and argue about the meaning
of life. And together they face dogs, school, television commercials,
the vastness of the sea, and the terrifying bigness of the washing
machine.
A Parents' Choice Silver Honor Winner, an ALA-ALSC Notable Children's
Book, and an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Book Award Winner, Toys
Go Out is truly a modern classic.
