Not for sensitive kids
Love love love Kevin Henkes and was excited for this book. Was hoping it would teach my kids the value of patience. The illustrations are gorgeous (as usual!). However, the story made my son cry :(. The toys in the story are alive (much like Toy Story) and they are waiting for something to happen. One day a new toy joined them and "left and never returned" (illustration shows a toy that fell off the shelf and has broken into tons of pieces). Lots of tears from my sensitive boy :(
