Synopsis

Toy Story meets Traction Man Is Here! in this book that offers a fresh spin on a universal premise: the secret action-adventure story of a toy. When Red, a game piece, is accidentally left out of the game box, nothing—not a hungry robot nor ferocious Lady Flufferton—will stop Red from reaching home. The unthinkable has happened! Red is alone on the living room floor, far from the safety of the game closet and best pal, Yellow. After almost being devoured by a ravenous robot (a.k.a. the vacuum cleaner), Red embarks on the dangerous journey home. There will be perils—a transparent cliffside to climb, hanging forests to conquer, and the beastly Lady Flufferton (a.k.a. the family dog) to escape. And there will be setbacks—as when Red is found and carelessly tossed into the junk drawer. But in this action-packed, humorous story, Red learns from mistakes and discovers that with perseverance and resourcefulness nothing is impossible.

OMG. This is the most adorable and fun book I have read in a while. The perspective of the house through the game piece's eyes is so creative and definitely taps into that childhood whimsy of naming things that you don't know the names too. This book is full of adventure, perseverance, and fun. I lov......more

Ah, poor red piece, left out of the box on family game night. Very fun and clever book about red's adventures in trying to find their way back to their game box. The illustrations have a CGI quality to them that lends itself to a game themed book. Kids will enjoy the ingenuity of red as they navigat......more
