Some of Oliver’s realizations are overly earnest-“If I can’t be me, then what fun is it to fit in?”-but the message is valuable, and the closing revelation that the seemingly disparate puzzles are part of a single giant one is a unexpectedly touching reminder that, whether space unicorn or monster musician, we’re all in this together. Through a mix of dialogue and lightly punny narration, Atkinson follows Oliver’s misguided efforts to force himself into various puzzles, creating obvious parallels to the way humans mold themselves to fit different social circles (though perhaps not using markers and tape, as Oliver does). For his part, Oliver is a small, blue and orange puzzle piece, with eager eyes and a big, round head. Ideally, he’d be “part of something exciting” (Atkinson shows a puzzle of a pirate squid cackling over his treasure chest), “wild” (a green monster plays electric guitar in another puzzle), or “out of this world” (an astronaut unicorn sails through space). "Similar to The Day the Crayons Quit, there is pure joy in watching these more staid children’s toys express bottled up feelings and break out of their mould.Playing with the idea of finding one’s place, Atkinson ( Explorers of the Wild) introduces a puzzle piece named Oliver who is searching for where he belongs. All from 2.83 New Books from 8.53 Used Books from 2. A sweet and funny story that shows fitting in isnt always the best fit. Like all of us, Oliver just wants to find where he fits, but finding his place in the great puzzle of life isnt easy.
