Signed by Emily Jenkins & Paul O. Zelinsky. Being the Adventures of a Knowledgeable Stingray, a Toughy Little Buffalo, and Someone Called Plastic. Lumphy is a stuffed buffalo, StingRay is a plush stingray, and Plastic is...well, she’s not quite sure what she is (though she’s very round and good at bouncing), but they all belong to the Little Girl who lives on the high bed with the fluffy pillow. In six linked stories, we follow these intrepid toys as they venture out into the wide world both together and individually, exploring the basement, jumping into the bathtub, looking for a birthday present for the Little Girl, dealing with dogs at the beach, and — most terrifyingly of all — facing the washing machine! Illustrated with warm pencil drawings by Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky. Your young reader will be enchanted by this sweet, imaginative tale of the adventures of a little girl’s favorite toys, even as they identify with each toy’s fears and triumphs as they confront new and different situations. Ages 7 - 11
