Book Buddies: Ivy Lost and Found (Hardcover)

By Cynthia Lord, Stephanie Graegin (Illustrator)

A beautiful start to new friends and a new early chapter book series. In a tale reminiscent of Cordory's adventures, Ivy the doll discovers the magic of making new memories with children and fellow book buddy toys. The story balances a modern family with the classic-feeling black and white illustrations.
