by Mem Fox, illustrated by Lauren Stringer
Beach Lane Books (Simon & Schuster), September 4, 2012
Mem Fox is a genius when it comes to picturebook text. Her text is
sparse, with just enough repetition, room for illustrations, and it begs
to be read aloud. Tucked into bed, a young boy asks each of his toys
what they did that day. As each toy answers, the illustrations reveal
how his story connects with the others, culminating in how the boy's
actions brought about each toy's experiences. A wonderful new bedtime
book from a picturebook master.
