Book Description

February 29, 2004

Dive into the sometimes sexy, sometimes sinister, always hilarious world of love and action figures in the toy industry with Eugenie Seifer, the quirky, smart new author for Avon Trade.

Toby Morris is 25 and ready for some excitement. Her job at a large toy company is long on stuffed animals, radio–controlled racers, and activity sets, but short on real satisfaction. When her former art school buddy lands a job at a local TV station and Toby tunes into the weekend news, she soon finds all the excitement she'd ever asked for––through an infatuation with a young, handsome weatherman.

As she slowly becomes obsessed with Doppler radar, storm trajectories, and cloud cover, Toby begins to send him anonymous poems ("if you like these poems/and the feelings I speak/please wear your green tie/on Thursday next week) and letters begin flying. It seems as though Toby has almost found her true love, until a botched prank leaves Toby wondering how she'll ever weather the storm. But what's coming up for Toby is something no weekend weatherman could ever predict.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just another pretty cover!, April 30, 2004
By 
This review is from: Babe in Toyland (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by a Borders salesperson and I was not steered wrong! The behind-the-scenes look at the Toy Biz left me wanting to know more. The characters were great - especially Toby (the main character) - just the right mix of happy-go-lucky and realistic - I really wanted things to work out for her (and they did)! Pick up this book and you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chick lit with a twist, April 30, 2004
By 
This review is from: Babe in Toyland (Paperback)
I picked up this book out of desperation (could not find anything else to purchase at the bookstore). The cover was fun and I admit, I do buy books based on their covers sometimes.

What a joy! This book was such fun to read. Not too silly and not too serious - a good blend of the two. I even liked all the characters,which is nice and rare in chick lit books these days.

The writing is fun and breezy and although I must admit that I did not really find there was a huge plot going on, the end completely caught me by surprise!!!

If you like chick lit, this is a good one. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A charming, fun read!, April 21, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Babe in Toyland (Paperback)
From the candy-colored cover art to the sweet ending of the story, I found this to be an easy, enjoyable read for my vacation time. Well developed characters and some laugh-out-loud lines add to the fun.
