(3) 1-3 In this nostalgic story about enlivened toys, embittered carnival-game clown Zozo, who nurses a vendetta against toys that are their owners' favorites, orchestrates the kidnapping of six-year-old Billy's beloved plush toy, Ollie; an epic, child-pleasing rescue ensues. This hefty, large-format book features Joyce's precisely rendered, full-page multimedia illustrations, by turns tenderhearted and creepy to reflect the warring toys.
