(4) K-3 Illustrated by Terry Milne. When hand-me-down stuffed kangaroos Mama and Little Joe arrive in their new home, the expensive ("We're much too special to be played with") toys shun them, despite Mama's friendly overtures. It takes a crisis for the snobby toys to understand what it means to "have a heart." The gentle watercolors add to the old-fashioned feel of this warm (if none-too-subtle) tale.
