A new-toy story for readers to befriend. - Kirkus Reviews Van Genechten’s mixed-media drawings have a sweet, homey feel―Tobor resembles a cardboard box with rivets―and the story offers opportunities to think about friendships, fickleness, group dynamics, and appreciating companions’ unique qualities. - Publishers Weekly A cute and clever story - Beyond the Bookends An interesting story, especially for today's children who are so used to digital toys that entertain them, that they forget how to entertain themselves - Ryan Franklin, Illinois State Library
