Kirkus (starred review) says:"Even more tender than its predecessor, these six related stories skillfully capture the bittersweet challenges of childhood independence. ... Zelinsky's superlative black-and-white drawings never fail to bring warmth and depth... Poignant and compelling, this sequel sparkles." A Junior Library Guild Premiere Selection

Plastic, StingRay and Lumphy run from the shark |
This delightful book returns us to the home of the Little Girl who sleeps on the High Bed, whose special and favorite toys made TOYS GO OUT such a success with children. But not everything is the same: now StingRay, Lumphy and Plastic are beginning to realize that the Girl is growing older, and her interests are threatening to change—even her interest in toys. Mindless, plastic Barbies begin to attract her attention. A new toy, a rubber shark, arrives in the mail. Will it be a rival to the three friends? A companion? A predator? Accompany Lumphy, Plastic, StingRay and their household friends through six linked stories, rife with fears and folly, frustrations and satisfactions, pathos and bravery, showing with great good humor that lives lived in the playroom can be as full, and as human, as any. |
