A comically expressive tot pays tribute to the all-important BINKY in a bright, playful board book sure to have instant toddler appeal. Anyone who's spent time with a toddler knows that few crises compare with the (even temporary) loss of a favorite binky. Here, in her humorous, bold graphic style, Leslie Patricelli plays up a scenario near and dear to every toddler's heart, raising the plaintive question: can there be any peace in the house when a beloved binky is not to be found?

Binky’s blast-off into outer space (outside) to battle aliens (bugs) is delayed when he realizes he’s left something behind - and it’s not the anti-gravity kitty litter.

Join Binky in all of his imaginary adventures.

A little girl explains that she does not need a pacifier anymore, because she is a big kid now.

Binky the space cat has been promoted to lieutenant. He’s now in charge of training the next generation of space cadets. But then he meets the new space kitten - who isn’t a kitten at all! Is someone trying to pull the fur over his eyes? Binky and Captain Gracie need to figure out the new cadet before the next alien attack!

This book was originally written to help my son give up his pacifiers and bottles. It can be a struggle for a child to give up these items that give them comfort. The Binky-BaBa Fairy makes children feel good about growing up and sharing their beloved items with the new babies who need them. HEATHER KNICKERBOCKER-SILVA is a married mother of one. She works as a Special Education Teacher and has authored two books. The title of her other book is THE CHRONICLES OF AN INEXPERIENCED MOMMY. At the time of print she was completing her Masters degree. She enjoys family time, writing, and learning by continuing her education.

Nora's lost pacifier becomes a toy for several other animals before it is finally returned to her.
