Penny: I wish you good luck with this one!

There's a book I remember from my own childhood which I am tempted to think might be a figment of my imagination. I think the title was "Traveling to Tripoli" and it was about a bunch of toys that were unwanted by their former children owners, that sneak off to Tripoli, because one of them heard that the children there are poor and would be happy to have any toys at all to love. As they go along more and more toys join the throng, until they finally reach Tripoli and all are "adopted" and loved by their new child-owners. I remember reading it at elementary school, indeed, going to the younger classes and reading it to them. But any attempt to find the thing so far has been unfruitful.

So I know how you feel, and wish you best of luck!
