Author Description

The two little Toolittle brothers, Rudy and Ridley, are charged with a very important job at their family's toy company: They must play with every single toy and make sure the magical toys also play with them. Then one day, Rudy decides he has gotten too big for fun and games; he must take toy-testing seriously, and little brother Ridley is left all alone. But when the toys stop working, Rudy discovers that it takes not one but two little Toolittles to play just right. Kirsch's detailed line work and technicolor paintings render in glorious detail a host of toy creations that will fascinate children, while parents and teachers will embrace an imaginative story about the bonds of brotherhood, the joys of childhood, and the importance of play.
