Can an intrepid toy mouse help a child venture out of his comfort zone?

Marco Polo is a retired Christmas ornament, but in his mind, he is a great mouse explorer. Because he’s tiny and likely to be lost, he is the least-borrowed of the Book Buddies— toys that children can check out of the library just like a book— and he almost never gets to leave the library.

But the little mouse finally meets the right match in Seth, a boy who is about to attend his first sleepover. If Seth were to bring the stuffed bunny he usually sleeps with, he’d risk being teased, but Marco Polo is the perfect size to hide away in his sleeping bag. Are both boy and mouse in for an unexpected adventure?

Charmingly illustrated and offering a window into the secret life of toys (including a suspenseful glimpse at where all the household’s lost toys go), this title in the endearing Book Buddies series explores common fears and quiet bravery.
