Toys Go Out: Being the Adventures of a Knowledgeable StingRay, a Toughy Little Buffalo, and Someone Called Plastic (Modern Fantasy)


This book is a perfect example of books that fire up readers’ imaginations. Although the story didn’t have a real plot, it is an adorable story about a group of talking toys. The toys go on several adventures and have a clever way of explaining the world around them. All of the characters have distinct personalities, especially StingRay and Lumphy. This is definitely a book that I would use with 1st or 2nd graders. It would make a read-aloud really enjoyably because of all the different characters. Toys Go Out would be good transitional books to help students get away from picture books and to start reading more substantial books. Great book, I enjoyed reading it and I am sure many children would to.
