About This Book

A lively ensemble of shop toys come to life after dark, led by a self-moving china cat who befriends a recently arrived trumpeter toy. Their nocturnal play turns urgent when human danger and severe weather threaten the shop and its inhabitants. A fire and a fierce storm prompt a series of rescues involving the toys and sympathetic children, and past friendships reappear to influence events. After peril and rough play, a little girl named Jennie acquires the china cat, while the toys confront unsettling occurrences hinted by glaring eyes. The tale blends whimsical toy-world mischief with episodes of courage and rescue.
