I didn't know that The Brave Little Toaster was a book before being adapted into the movie I remember from my childhood. And I have to say, the book is kind of awesome. It's written with a formalized elegance that you might expect from older stories, but the tone is absolutely perfect. It's a quiet story and it's easy to love these intrepid little appliances.

Sadly I had to weed this book from the library's collection due to its age (and the book does show its age in terms of the technology used) and low circulation, but it has since found a cozy little place on my bookshelf at home.

Hmmm, this one is weirder than I thought it would be. I am not a fan of the way he tells the story- like a fairy tale almost.

I feel like there's some symbolism here that I'm missing because I'm sleepy.

I don't know how to express my feelings when I learned that 'The Brave Little Toaster' had actually been a novel, and so was the sequel where they go to Mars. What?

I of course had to put everything in my life aside until I located a library to request it from. It's a sweet little book, the characterization is a little different and of course some scenes have been shuffled, added or subtracted, but all in all they are good compliments to each other.

If 'The Brave Little Toaster' film held as bright a spot in your child as it did mine, you owe it to yourself to check this out.
