'Teddy & Co.' by Cynthia Voigt is a book for young readers about a group of toys that live on an island and the adventures they have.
Teddy lives on an island with a group of outcast toys. We don't learn how they got there, but we follow them on day to day adventures. The toys all have unique personalities. One wants to be to himself, one likes to bake, and one is kind of bossy. They all have moments of friendship with each other.
I liked this series of stories, but there are probably more classic stories about animated toys out there. This was still a pleasant read and one for readers who like stories of toys that think and talk.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Random House Children's and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
I loved Teddy & Co.! I have four sons, and when we read this each was charmed by the fun characters and fun drawings.
Being such a huge fan of Cynthia Voigt and a previous children's bookseller - I felt that it was a match made in heaven. A children's book by Ms. Voigt! It's an adorable read yet I would have loved to have more illustrations.
Such a cute book about Teddy and his friends. Teddy is a bear without legs so the elephant he lives with pulls or pushes him in a wagon. There is also a penguin, a snake, and two pigs that live nearby. Soon they are joined by a bunny and a doll. These "toys" have many adventures exploring and learning how to get along.
This was reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh or The Toys Go Out. Great for a read aloud or for 2nd and 3rd grade readers.
