I love this trilogy by Emily Jenkins! They are perfect read-alouds for young children; when you are ready to start on chapter books. Each chapter is like a mini-story; the characters are engaging and the conflicts real, but non-threatening. Friendship, jealousy, fear and change -- all are introduced and resolved with humor and love.This was also my first iPad book! Twenty-first century, here I come! I just finished reading this out loud to my kids. Since it's the second of this series I've read out loud, I've really gotten the voices down, especially Plastic and Lumphy - it's very fun. It really struck me in this one how Jenkins sneaks some pretty serious life issues into these toys' lives. When the dryer might be nearing the end of her life, there's a look at how two different characters deal with such a situation. Plenty of jealousy too. Reading these aloud provides opportunity for explaining plenty of new vocabulary, as well.
I loved this continuing story of Stingray, Lumphy and Plastic and their dance party in the basement.

Great sequel, but not as enaging as "Toys Go Out."
