Publisher's Synopsis

The timeless charm of old-style
wooden toys emerges from every
page of this paper pop-up. Simple
shapes and vivid colors bring classic
toys such as the red fire truck,
the baby bassinet, and the farmer's
tractor to life.
Through the voice of a young
child full of imagination, each toy
is given a storyline. At the end of
the day, the child bids goodnight
to all the toys scattered across the
bedroom, promising to pick them
up tomorrow.
Gérard Lo Monaco's talent with
paper is used to create an ingenious
three-dimensional world of
toys presented through endearing
vignettes dreamt up by a child's
creative mind. Lively onomatopoeias
add playfulness to every page,
making it fun to read this pop-up
book aloud while turning its pages.
