A little girl goes to sleep with her favorite stuffed animal, Planet, at her side. Once she is sleeping, Planet gets out of bed and starts his own adventures. They involve visiting with the dog, eating some cookies together, climbing a tree and seeing the full moon. Getting down from the tree is an adventure in itself and takes a bit of a run and a leap. They befriend a mouse along the way, share some more cookies together and then return to bed. Based on Liniers’ own daughter’s stuffed animal and their family dog, this book is gentle and lovely. It’s a great introduction to graphic novels for young children and a way to get new readers more confident. Appropriate for ages 5-7.

It was cute! My favorite panels are when Planet flings themself down the stairs. That’s how I’m going into 2020 lmao

This is a beautifully watercolored story about a stuffed bunny that comes alive at night and gets into trouble. Or, well, just casual hijinks! It's very sweet and, as is true of the whole toon books series, a great transition into comics for younger readers still learning the medium. There are some gorgeous mostly wordless sequences, and lots of talk about cookies. A lovely book.
