When Doc the bear arrives at the dump from his former home in a children's hospital, he's not sure what kind of life awaits him.

| When the dayroom of the children’s ward at Deerhurst Hospital is renovated in preparation for a royal visitor, Doc the bear and the other longtime toy residents find out that newer, shinier toys will be replacing them. Discarded and disheartened, Doc ends up in the junkyard, where he meets toy bears Humphrey and Nell; the General, a stuffed owl; and “Lady” Cora, a porcelain doll whose bitterness masks heartbreak. Junkyard life is tough, but Doc and the others find purpose by aiding an injured blackbird and by helping an old toy rabbit, mistakenly thrown away, return to its owner. The adventures require teamwork and courage, but, ultimately, the toys discover they can assist and comfort those in need—including one another. Some vocabulary may be too sophisticated for younger readers, but Fellowes exhibits a wonderful flair for both dialogue and characterization, and his descriptive narrative, touched with wit, echoes with the drama and poignancy of classic animal tales. Schindler’s enchanting, intricate artwork, ranging from black-and-white spot art to full-page color pictures, sympathetically captures the characters’ feelings of loss and rejection as well as their dignity, determination, and grace. A fine choice to open dialogue about facing adversity and the importance of compassion and community, this story is one that kids will read over and over again. --Booklist

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is a charming story about stuffed animals that get thrown away for a variety of reasons (i.e. Velveteen Rabbit). The illustrations are beautiful and it is a sweet and interesting story. The language is a little sophisticated and it takes place in England so there are some British expressions and words that need some translating. My 8 year old daughter loves it. Definitely a great read aloud story for kids 7-9. |
