Reviews

Starred Review, Booklist, April 15, 2012: <br> Here's another standout from a popular franchise...The adventures that toys have apart from their owners is a surefire theme worth revisiting time and even more so when done with this much panache. <br><br>Starred Review, School Library Journal, April 1, 2012: <br> Grey fills the spreads with color and action, providing plenty of high jinks and hilarious happenings. <br><br>Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, March 1, 2012: <br> A wonderfully satirical, action-packed romp that echoes the grand tradition of comic books as it ingeniously communicates the complete absorption of imaginative play.
