"I just love these books. When I heard there was a third coming out, I was thrilled. This one is a prequel, and it is as almost-painfully adorable, funny, and wise as the other two. My students (grades 3-5) love these, and I am looking forward to reading them with my first grader this year."

    " I liked this one. It was fun to see how Lumphy, Plastic, and StingRay came to be with the little girl. I was sad about Bobby Dot, though. :( "

    " This children's chapter book was a good addition to the "from the perspective of the toy" genre. The narrator (a stuffed stingray) was an engaging character and I think my kids would enjoy this book. There are two others as well, so maybe I'll get them for a summer road trip! "
