Most children have wondered what their toys do at night. In these stories the teddy bear wakes up, the books read themselves, the paintings step out of their frames and the instruments play on their own.

You can add your child's own teddy or favorite toy as a character. The older themes, for ages 7 to 8, let your child make art that comes to life.
