(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dennis Nolan. Charles's toys--the baker, airplane man, soldier--talk to him when no one else is around, and together they share adventures. Years pass, and Charles can't hear the toys anymore. He discards his old friends but then rescues them for his baby brother. Underscoring the text's nostalgia, the misty illustrations are a good match for this story about moving beyond childhood.
