And where in the house can they find the Little Girl a birthday present that she will love the most?Together is best for these three best friends.

Zelinsky that showcase the unforgettable adventures--and misadventures-- of three extraordinary friends.From the Hardcover edition.

There's always a book that looks like it will be the best; Toys Go Out was the book I thought I'd like best. Actually, I wasn't taken with the story. A group of toys have little adventures. Perhaps it was too close to reading the book about the adventurous wooden doll from the 1920's.
