Description

A stuffed buffalo, a plush stingray, and a plastic ball venture outdoors and discover snow for the very first time in this delightful wintry picture book. Lumphy, StingRay, and Plastic-the toys from the beloved chapter books Toys Go Out, Toy Dance Party, and Toys Come Home-are back in a glorious full-color picture book, perfect for gift-giving this holiday season. Acclaimed author Emily Jenkins and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Paul Zelinsky have created a book destined to become a classic. Children who have loved listening to the Toys trilogy, as well as those meeting the toys for the very first time, will be thrilled to see Lumphy, StingRay, and Plastic venture outdoors to play in the snow. Together the toys build a snowman, make snow angels, and, when day is done, head back inside their cozy house and wait for the return of the Little Girl.

Reviews

"Utterly enchanting; a perfect bedtime read." -School Library Journal, Starred "The wonderfully idiosyncratic trio works brilliantly together, playing with equally exciting imaginary and realistic hypotheses about snow, their unique personalities and intellectual strengths jiving all the while... Snow never left you feeling warmer inside." -Kirkus Reviews, Starred "This wonderfully understated story enchants from the first page." -Publishers Weekly, Starred "There is perennial pleasure to be had in stories of toys come to life, and fans of Jenkins' Toys Go Out (BCCB 11/06), its sequel, Toy Dance Party, and its prequel, Toys Come Home, already know and love stuffed buffalo Lumphy, plush StingRay, and Plastic (a rubber ball)." -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Starred
