3.5 stars. This wasn't my favorite in the series but it was still a fun read. In this one we get stuck in the world of Vending. Its all those vending machine toys, but they're real. Daisy and Posey and her other friends get stuck in the bubbles and get taken home by a "giant girl" and they have to figure their way home.

After a trip to the grocery store leaves Posey fascinated with the toy vending machines, Daisy and Posey take a trip inside the World of Make-Believe's own city of vending machines... a whole town of toys in bubbles INSIDE a giant vending machine. But when toys start to go missing and Posey disappears too, Daisy knows it's time to venture beyond the vending machine's door in search of them.
One of Anna's strengths as a children's author is her whimsical imagination, which really shines in this story. The City of Vending is a perfect extension of every child's wish, and captures for this adult all the nostalgia present in those moments of childhood wigging handles and opening doors even without a quarter and hoping for a surprise. A couple of vagueries in the execution don't mar this tale, although it does suffer slightly from a too-quick wrap-up. Perhaps Jean and her bubble friends will make a reappearance in a later tale.

Super cute! I loved the idea of the creatures living in their little vending machine bubbles.

My 4 and 6 year olds absolutely love this series, and I’m more than happy to grab them off the library shelf. With fun illustrations on every page and a wacky adventure in each book, we devour these in one sitting.

Simplistic even for the level of this series. And, yes, the previous 'cliffhanger' ending was just dropped. Helpful hint: do not let your imaginary friend into the grocery store.
