It bleeps, speaks, and squeaksbut 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 missednor is the ignominious demise of TurboDog! With this satisfying sequel, Mini Grey has scored another smashing victory for imaginative play. - Publisher.

Sign in for personalised guidanceA lively toy adventure about loyalty and rescue, with comic danger in a rubbish bin. Traction Man’s imaginative mission contrasts an inseparable pet relationship with a new, less capable battery-operated toy.
Traction Man and Scrubbing Brush are described as inseparable before Scrubbing Brush is discarded and later rescued.
Scrubbing Brush is replaced by a battery-operated TurboDog that bleeps, speaks and squeaks but is described as not very smart.
The father calls Scrubbing Brush ‘unhygenic’ and sends it to the rubbish bin, while Traction Man uses ‘SuperStrong Germo’ during the rescue.
The action includes a discarded pet, an eerie rubbish-bin setting, hissing animated food waste, a battle and TurboDog’s ‘ignominious demise’. The tone is presented as comic, but these moments may merit a brief check-in.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
