Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

"A bit like the great movie Toy Story and a bit like the wonderful Kate DiCamillo book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane . This is a great family book." -- The Washington Post on Toys Go Out, the companion to Toy Dance Party

Here is the second book in the highly acclaimed Toys trilogy, which includes the companion books Toys Go Out and Toys Come Home and chronicles the unforgettable adventures of three brave and loving toys.

Lumphy, Stingray, and Plastic are back! And this time the three extraordinary friends find that their little girl has left for winter vacation and taken a box of dominoes, a stegosaurus puzzle, and two Barbie dolls--but not them. Could she have forgotten them?

As the girl starts to grow up, the three best friends must join together to brave a blizzard, save the toy mice from the vacuum, and make sure that they'll always have the little girl's love. (And they still have time to throw an all-out dance party with the washing machine!)

"Poignant and compelling, this sequel sparkles." -- Kirkus Reviews, Starred

The toys are left in -- In which there are wonderful costumes and violence occurs -- The garbage-eating shark (which is not the same as the possible shark) -- Concerning that plump mouse Bonkers, the vacuum cleaner, and a friendship between fish -- In which there is a sleepover and somebody needs repair -- Let's do our nails.

Six stories relate further adventures of three best friends, who happen to be toys, as they encounter a fearsome (possible) shark, enjoy a dance party, and deal with rejection by The Girl, who is growing up.
