The cutest book you'll ever read

I stumbled across a copy of this book at a used book store. The title caught my attention, so I bought it. I read it to my mom on the way home, and we were both in stitches. Even if you're all grown up and you don't have any stuffed animals to care for, this book is worth reading. The pictures and captions alone are enough to make me laugh. A very clever book. I love it. If you find a used copy somewhere, BUY IT!

My Stuffies loved it!

When my Dad gave me this book, I started using it at once with my own stuffies and stufflings. It helped me to nurture hurt stuffies and reassure well stuffies.

Thank you Glen

As the owner of a vast stuffed gorilla collection I really enjoyed this book. Now I just want my own copy. I think I fall into category number 1 in your review.

Very cute and exceptionally funny satire of pet-care manuals

The Care and Feeding is a pet care manual for the owners of stuffed animal toys. When I show a copy to people I get one of three reactions: 1. If they love stuffed animals, they beg me for a copy and look quite distressed when I tell them it is out of print. 2. If they don't particularly care for stuffed animals, but are basically warm hearted, then they find it immensely funny and are again distressed when they find it is out of print. 3. Emotionally supressed intellectuals, however, generally don't get it, and wonder why I didn't write something more serious.
