What happens when you forget to bring your toys inside for the night? They go on an imaginary trip to outer space of course! Mini Grey's newest picture book is an adventurous romp told in a graphic novel format.

This title is a sure-fire winner for...more
Mini Grey's narrative and artwork have never been better in this hilarious exploration into the realm of storytelling, spaceships and toys.

Kind of like toy story... Should be good for boys and girls, and it looks like there will be a companion.
My favorite page is when the toys are looking up at the sky!
