I loved this book as a child and still do! I like how it combines fantasy in a way that surprises the reader and makes them believe anything can happen. ( )

I always loved this book. Now, I use it to try to teach my kids about picking up their toys. Great message and not in your face about it. ( )

This is an unusual story, and I'm not sure I like it.

A young boy's toys keep getting mysteriously broken overnight, and his friend convinces him that it's all manner of exotic creatures - a tiger, a lion, and an elephant (who lays eggs...?)

So they catch the animals and make them fix the toys.

It's a weird combination of fantasy and realism, and, as I said, I'm not sure I like it at all. ( )

Believing his house is surrounded by a jungle inhabited by lions, tigers, and elephants, Walter, with the help of his friend Bernie, sets a trap to catch the animals that are breaking the toys he leaves outside at night. -- AbeBooks.com
