Product Description

A lonely doll helps a child adjust to a blended family in the first of a charming series about library toys and the children who borrow them, written by Newbery Honoree Cynthia Lord.

Ivy was Anne the librarians doll when she was a young girl. But now she has moved to Annes library to be its newest Book Buddya toy that can be checked out just like a book. Ivy isnt sure she wants to be borrowed, though. Shed rather go back to just being Annes favorite toy. Fern, a child who visits the library with her stepfamily, also wishes things could go back to the way they were, when Fern had her dad all to herself. When Fern takes Ivy home, an unexpected outdoor adventure helps both of them find confidence and belonging in their changing worlds. This heartwarming story by Cynthia Lord, with a classic feel and gentle illustrations by Stephanie Graegin, is the first in a chapter-book series that pairs friendly toys with child characters who need them.

Review

An engaging story of insecurity overcome by hope, courage, and love. . . the simply written narrative and the pleasing artwork convey heartfelt emotions with honesty and subtlety.
Booklist (starred review)

In this series opener, a long-forgotten doll is dismayed to find herself repurposed as a library toy for children to check out. . . . Like the story, the charmingly retro illustrations honor the genres antecedents, from Rumer Goddens sentient dolls to the Toy Story franchise. . . . A beguiling series opener that gently conveys the upside of adapting to unwelcome changes.
Kirkus Reviews

B&w sketchlike illustrations in Graegins signature style lighten the tone of a story that touches on fears of loss and abandonment. Humorous, lively conversations between the Book Buddies. . . offer the promise of happy borrowings ahead.

CHAPTER ONE
Ivy

Ivys first memory was the birthday party.
There was music and bright balloons. A girls face lit up with joy.
A doll! Anne had cried. She cut the strings and untwisted the ties that held Ivy in her store box. Ill name you Ivy, Anne whispered into Ivys dark braids.
After that, it was always the two of them: Ivy and Anne.
On warm summer days, Anne played with Ivy outside in the garden. Ivys tiny blue boots left footprints in the mud.
On gray, rainy afternoons, Anne made new clothes for Ivy. She stitched soft dresses and pants
from scraps of fabric and lace. She made belts from string and rubber bands. She knit sweaters from leftover bits of yarn. Ivy loved them all.
On icy winter nights, snow fell outside the windows. Anne tucked Ivy into blankets and read fairy tales to her. Ivys favorite part was always happily ever after.
And every night before she fell asleep, Anne whispered her most secret worries and hopes to Ivy. Ivy always listened.
She never imagined it could change.
As Anne grew up, trips to the garden stopped. Ivys tiny blue boots stayed clean.
She wore the same white pants and gray sweater for years.
On icy winter nights, Ivy stayed on the shelf. She watched snow fall outside the window while Anne slept.
Missing someone hurts, Ivy thought. This is how it feels to be forgotten.
Then one day Ivy was brought to the attic. She was placed in a box with some old clothes.
Ivy went to sleep. Memories came and
