In these "further adventures," Honey grows less interested in her formerly beloved Stingray, Lumphy, and Plastic in favor of barbies (who don't talk) and nail polish. Frank - the washing machine in the basement - worries over the fate of the dryer. A new arrival, a rubber shark, makes waves. ( )

I found it a little too preachy, a little too obvious, and just not as joyful. The undertone of snark that I adored in TGO was missing. There were moments of delight, though, when our friends Stingray and Lumphy get in over their fuzzy little heads, and their hatred of Barbie made me laugh.

This book manages to have female characters without making it about a single girl. ( )

This is the continued adventures of the toys in Toys Go Out. The toys are faced with the fact that the little girl is growing up. The little girl goes on winter vacation without them. While she is gone the toys brave a blizzard, save the toy mice, and throw an all night dance party with the washing machine.
