'Teddy & Co.' by Cynthia Voigt is a book for young readers about a group of toys that live on an island and the adventures they have.
Teddy lives on an island with a group of outcast toys. We don't learn how they got there, but we follow them on day to day adventures. The toys all have unique personalities. One wants to be to himself, one likes to bake, and one is kind of bossy. They all have moments of friendship with each other.
I liked this series of stories, but there are probably more classic stories about animated toys out there. This was still a pleasant read and one for readers who like stories of toys that think and talk.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Random House Children's and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Another 'band of toys' stories a la Winnie the Pooh. We both really enjoyed it. G got a kick out of the character, Sid, who was always focused on eating and on Mr. B who was fixated on becoming friends with the most introverted character, Peng. Peng's character allowed us to have some conversations about being an introvert and some preschool dynamics that were important and may not have happened otherwise. The disabled character, Teddy, also allowed for some important discussion about abilities. Overall, an enjoyable book and easily accessible book for an almost 5 year old.

DNF. What little story there was moved at a glacial place, and the characters weren’t written well enough to keep me reading. One extra star for cute illustrations.

I saw a review that described Teddy & Co as “Winnie the Pooh meets the island of misfit toys” and there’s nothing more I could say to explain this book any better. I want to snuggle all of the stuffed characters. The stories are sweet and simple, maybe a tiny bit boring, but the darling cover is definitely the best part of the whole book.

I loved how each animals character was enforced throughout the book. That silly, hungry snake really made my girls laugh!

I had hoped that this would be reminiscent of one of my most beloved books Toys Go Out, but this just didn't have the same magic. It was cute enough and I can certainly see it being enjoyed by young readers, but it just didn't work for me.
