4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book That Teaches Ownership To Kiddos

This book was really cute, but a little hard to understand.
The main thing that made this book more confusing than it needed to be was the dialogue. There were little to no tags on pieces of dialogue, so it was very difficult to know who was talking at each point. The only time I knew who was talking was when it was in first person (Mr. Trunks) or it had a tag on it (i.e. Mom said).
As for the drawings, emotion was articulated beautifully through light and color. You could tell happy parts from sad parts, and energetic parts from slow parts. These choices helped a lot to move the story along with a good flow.
Lastly, the moral was great: return things that aren't yours to the rightful owner. This moral was also conveyed with ease and you did not have to search for it.
All in all a great book, it could just use a little more editing to make the dialogue more specific.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional and adorable!
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024
Finding Mr. Trunks is an adorable, emotional, sweet, reminiscent, creative, fun, engaging, and heartfelt story! This book had me saying "aww" and tearing up a little bit. I adore how this story highlights the magic of childhood, children's adoration of their favorite toys, and the toy's adoration for the child they love. Because it is narrated from Mr. Trunks perspective, this book has a Toy Story vibe. What truly struck a chord and reminded me of this classic movie is Mr. Trunks worry and love for his girl with the cat ears when they are accidentally separated. I was rooting for Mr. Trunks to find her the entire story. I also loved that he grew to care for the family who found him. This family did everything they could to ensure Mr. Trunks was reunited with his girl. #FindingMr.Trunks is a phenomenal story which harnesses the power of social media in the most heartwarming way to reunite a stuffed elephant and his girl. We loved this book!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute...Social Media Aspect is Strong Though
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024
Mr. Trunks is an adorable stuffie that gets separated from his child at the airport and the power of social media is used to try and reunite them. The illustrations are very well done, colorful and I love the diversity of the traveling people and animals in this story as well as the locations.

While the concept of showing the positivity of social media in a children’s book is unique, the story became muddled midway through. One reason for this is the lack of specification in the dialogue. It becomes unclear who is speaking at times, which can easily become confusing for the age group this book is geared towards. The Instagram type posts were cute and recognizable, however the social media language is a lot at once. My youngest children are 8 and 10, so it was easy to grasp that concept but may be harder for younger ages.

Overall this is a very cute children’s book that I think many will adore and fall in love with.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet, enjoyable story for any child who worries about lost toys.
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024
4/5 stars from the perspective of a children's librarian!

A very cute and sweet story about the adventures of a lost toy and it's attempts to return to the child it loves.

What I Liked:
I really enjoyed the plot of this story! The way the whole internet banded together to try to reunite Libby and Mr. Trunks was so sweet, and the illustrations resembling social media posts was such a fun little touch to really capture the feel of the journey! I could see how this book could comfort children who worry about their own lost toys and reassure them that their toys are having wonderful adventures of their own and might still return to them someday.

What I Didn't Like:
At times the text felt a bit disjointed, especially as a read aloud to a group of children. Flipping back and forth between text in Mr. Trunks' head and dialogue between other characters was not clearly marked apart from the color of the text, and extra explanation regarding who it talking at each point might be required to help young children understand events.
