Five toys (a pig with an umbrella, a bear with a kite, a puppy on a sled, a rabbit with stars on its collar and a flexible accordion body, and an owl with spots) patiently wait for whatever comes next outside their window -- rain, snow, wind, lightning -- or inside their room, such as the introduction of a new toy. Whatever happens, they're cool with it: "The rabbit with stars wasn't waiting for anything in particular. He just liked to look out the window and wait." Sometimes gifts appear on the window ledge. Sometimes a new toy comes and goes. Sometimes they see spectacular events outside, such as a rainbow or fireworks. The toys take it all in stride, happy at the ever-changing spectacle and glad when a new toy cat arrives and surprisingly multiplies as a nesting doll.
