Customer Reviews

Great pictures, sweet text, a warm and fuzzy ending.

My daughter, age six, loves this book. The first time I read it to her, she watched the pages with wide-eyed curiosity as the story unfolded. What was in the brown bag? This book has a delightful ending that will leave you with warm fuzzies. The artwork is bright and realistic. Your young child will relate to this story... After all, what child doesn't believe his stuffed animals can come to life and talk? This book is a joy to look at and read, a favorite in our home.
