Chapter 1: In the Backpack
|
Introducing three
toys who are best of friends: Lumphy, StingRay and Plastic. Lumphy is
a plush buffalo, StingRay
is a plush sting ray, and Plastic—well, Plastic doesn't quite
know what she is.
They are among the toys belonging to the girl who sleeps on the high
bed. They live in her bedroom. Sometimes they get taken places, in
the dark inside of the backpack. They worry. They argue. They
try to figure things out. And the one-eared sheep will nibble on
anything.
Join them on their adventures: at the beach, at a birthday party,
on the high bed at night; or on a picnic, smeared with peanut butter
and heading home
to the dreaded washing machine.
This
young chapter book is charming, funny and heart-wrenchingly true.
You won't soon forget it.
