Illustrated by
Tim Wesson.
Three misfit toys (a too-strong teddy bear, a bad-tempered ragdoll, and an AWOL police-rabbit) get a second chance when they are recruited as spies by the Department of Secret Affairs. The book is mostly action sequences, some overlong, but a snarky sensibility ("soft toys are nothing more than cushions with eyes sewn on them") keeps things crisp. Plentiful grayscale cartoons add to the fun.
