Mission: Playtime!

Celebrate Mattel’s 80th anniversary with this imaginative picture book that showcases the power of play by bringing together Barbie, He-Man, Polly Pocket, Thomas the Tank Engine, Hot Wheels, and more, in an unforgettable and laugh-out-loud story. WHERE . . . IS . . . CHICKEN?! It’s almost bedtime and Syd’s favorite toy chicken is nowhere to be found! With limited time and lots of imagination, Syd and his big sister Sadie launch Mission: Chicken in the Coop. And with a team of their favorite toys–including Barbie dolls, He-Man, Polly Pocket, Thomas the Tank Engine, Hot Wheels, and more– “helping” along the way, these kids are in for the ultimate search-and-rescue mission. But things don’t exactly go as planned when Skeletor (and Lucky the Dog) come storming in. Packed with hilarious twists, punchy dialogue, and tons easter eggs on every page, this action-packed picture book is fun for grownups and kids alike. With its fast-paced humor and heartwarming sibling antics, it’s a perfect pick for bedtime or anytime–and one you’ll want to read again and again!
