review 1: This is a prequel to the other Toys books, giving us the origin stories for Stingray, Lumphy, and Plastic and the simple goals and problems of the toys reflect the constrained concerns of young children.I love them. Cute, and importantly, amusing stories, that continue to delight me long after my own kids have stopped pretending their stuffed animals were real. Stories parents could repeatedly read to their children without wanting to kill anyone. Highly recommended.Library copy.
review 2: We liked hearing the story of how the toys came to live with the girl. Bea loved the kitten that said Mngew and the humor of the book. Neither one of us liked the continued use of puking and nausea as a plot device. Ugh. Really, who likes to read about that. Puking on a ... morefavorite stuffed animal and then having it ruin in the wash? That is pretty darn traumatic stuff. It bothered my sensitive girl a lot. less
