"Luna begins her stack with a single chair. But it's not quite tall enough. So she adds a stool, then some books...and her bed...and before she knows it, she's thrown a pile of plates, a bathtub (currently occupied), and a whale up there too...Finally, after she flings...bigger and wackier things into the stack...she is able to reach into the sky for just what she wants: a star of her own to use as a night-light"--Provided by publisher.

"Terrance the turtle was born without a shell, so he uses a cardboard box instead. Terrance loves his box. It keeps him dry on soggy days, safe from snooping strangers, and is big enough to cozy up with a friend. But when another turtle points out that Terrance's shell is, well, weird, he begins to wonder whether there might be a better shell out there..."--Amazon.

Lucy decides to give a string she finds a tug and discovers a surprise, and possibly a new friend, at the other end.
