The book was hilarious!!!I couldn't stop laughing from the book.The author had a very creative way of writing about the book. One of the funniest parts of the book is when Plastic the mouse thought she was real plastic. When she looked up the word plastic it was funny.I thought the book was great!This is why I'll reommend this book for you.

I think Toys Go Out is a good book.It is about three toys,A buffalo,a stingray,and a ball,that go on adventures. I like that there is about one or two stories about each toy. I think you should read it.

Did you ever wonder if you could float? well so did a plastic,a red bouncy ball in the Rhode Island Chiildrens book award book Toys GO Out. A favorite character of mine is Stingray who knows alot about everything. A problem from the book is when bufflo gets dirty and has to go to the washing machine. Bufflo gets very scared to go. He goes and decides he likes the washing machine. I feel this book is very funny. So if you are looking for a great funny fantastic book choose Toys Go Out by Emily Jenkins.

The book, Toys Go Out, is a book about three friends who overcome their problems and fights with friendship. The reason
I like this book is the way it’s written. It has a lot of details, and it keeps you hooked to the book. I also liked the characters. They are funny and they make the book sound so real. The only thing I don’t like about this book is that the author does not tell the little girl’s name. I would recommend this book to readers who like funny and adventurous stories.

This book needs to be more interesting. I think it is boring because the problems the characters go through are dumb. Being afraid of a washing machine, three stuffed animals trying to get a little girl a birthday present, and a stuffed stingray being jealous of a plastic ball because it can float are some of the silly problems they run into.

I loved Toys Go Out. I enjoyed it because there were some funny scenes like when Lumphy was singing with Frank. I reccomend this to 3rd grade and up.

I enjoyed the book Toys Go Out because Lumphy,Stingray, and Plastic(a bouncy ball),are some of the most funny creatures I have ever known. One example is when Lumphy, Stingray, and Plastic were afraid of the washing machine when Lumphy got peanut butter on him and had to go in the washing machine.

This is a blog entry about TOY GO OUT.
First of all the main characters are Plastic,Buffalo,Sting Ray and the girl.There are many problemes in the book.One of the problems is when Sting Ray fells bad because she doesn't know what she is.Most of the time the story takes place in the girs room but part of the story takes place at the beach.There are not many pictures in the book but enough to tell the the story.Some people who might like the book are people who like to find the anser to problems right away.
Read The Book!

You should read this book because it is funny and has great things you can learn. You will laugh your pants off.

My favorite part was when Stingray said that they were going to the dump. But when really they were going to go to show and tell.
