Book Reviews of Toy Dance Party (Toys Go Out)

Book Review: A Delightful Children's Book....
Summary: 5 Stars

What is it like to be a toy, to have your present happiness and your future determined by "the girl" - a carefree eight year old who owns you? That is the question that runs through "Toy Dance Party" by Emily Jenkins. Continuing on from the first book, "Toys Go Out," we participate in several more mini adventures experienced by the toys (Brave Buffalo, Plastic the Ball, and Sting Ray, to name a few).

We begin to care about these toys. They are often kind, and they learn to be understanding of each other, and succeed in being loyal and supportive. These are life lessons that sparkle here and there throughout this 160 page children's s book. But such lessons are never intrusive. They gently thicken the action as the story moves on. Emily Jenkins tells her story in a style that seems perfect - cute, often funny, and always charming. The pictures, done by Paul Zelinsky, are just as lovely.

At the book store I felt the need to explain myself a little as I ordered this book that I felt I must have to keep on my shelves. "I read children's books, sometimes," I commented to the unsmiling clerk. "and this one is so, so special...".
