I received a free copy to review.

I can't really judge this a children's book since I'm an adult. I'm not really sure how old a child should be to understand the metaphors. I also think the phrasing in places is a bit weird and confusing. But I did like the story. It is about a family and a world of toys that has forgotten what love is. Reading the book I think I have also forgotten what love is. I don't know if I was in a weird place or it was only the book, but it did made me cry. For a moment I went trough a pain that I only children can experience very strongly - betrayal and loss.
