INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Voigt, Cynthia

Teddy & Co.

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Paola Zakimi. Six toy animals share an island and go on small adventures. The island gets a shake-up when newcomers arrive: first Mr. B, a rabbit; and then Clara, an imperious doll. The tone here is cozy and old-fashioned, but there's a level of anxiety under it all. Who are we really? Sophisticated black-and-white illustrations play to both the toys' cuteness and their not-always-sunny outlooks.
