Join Nubby on a heartwarming journey that proves sometimes the best adventures are those that lead us back to where we belong.

From the publisher

A beloved but overworked toy strikes out on his own to find glory–only to find that the best rewards were at home all along in this sweet and funny picture book that is perfect for fans of Toy Story and Knuffle Bunny. Nubby the stuffed rabbit is his owner’s favorite toy, but you wouldn’t know it from the way he’s treated. He’s been dropped, dragged, and even used as a nose wipe. He decides to strike out for a fresh start, and his adventure takes him across the realm–or at least around the cul-de-sac–in search of treasure, fame, and glory. But these rewards aren’t as sweet as Nubby hoped they’d be. What’s missing? As Nubby travels through the neighborhood, his owner’s family begins to search for him. Nubby’s journey might not have taken him far, but it does teach him one thing: no amount of glory could replace the love of his owner.
