Synopsis
THAT SQUARE-JAWED CAN-DO action toy, Traction Man, is back in another hilarious adventure. The little boy, Traction Man, and his brave pet, Scrubbing Brush, are inseparable--until the boy's father throws the unhygenic Scrubbing Brush in the trash and replaces it with a real toy, the battery-operated TurboDog. It bleeps, speaks, and squeaks--but is not very smart. So Traction Man, wearing his airtight Astro-suit and armed with a bottle of SuperStrong Germo, enters the trash bin and rescues Scrubbing Brush from the Evil Bin Things (pizza crusts, spaghetti, and potato peels with eyes and mouths that hiss Stay with us). The Battle of the Bin is not to be missed--nor is the ignominious demise of TurboDog With this satisfying sequel, Mini Grey has scored another smashing victory for imaginative play. From the Hardcover edition.

    I must say from the very beginning of this transaction that everything went smooth. The seller gave me a good quality product for a great price that was brand new and appeared to be better than what was pictured. I plan on purchasing more products in the near future from this seller. The product was shipped and packaged with care and love. Magnificent communication and all of what I said makes this seller a great asset to the eBay community as well as the marketplace.
