Play?

Playing with your favorite stuffed animal is easy, but learning how to play with a new friend can be tricky!

Phil and his best buddy, Puff—a stuffed puffin—do absolutely everything together. They hide, jump, crawl, and growl! They wash, share, wiggle, and giggle!

Frida and her favorite stuffed friend, Fox, spend all their time together, too. Both pairs love to play in their own familiar worlds.

When Frida and Fox bravely ask Phil and Puff if they want to play, they're not sure what to do. Will these two toddlers and their beloved stuffed animals learn to play together?

Through charming text and pencil illustrations, acclaimed author-illustrator Linda Ólafsdóttir highlights the social negotiation, hesitation, and ultimate joy that comes with a toddler's very first friendships.
