I am not one to recommend plush toys. Once a child has one or two stuffed animals they love--do they really need any more? My daughter who is eleven has a huge basket full of stuffed animals that she hasn't touched for years. But am I allowed to throw them out, give them away..no no no.

So if I am recommending a plush toy--you know it has to be good. First of all the texture is wonderful. Second, the stuffed animal becomes a pillow. Then to make it even better, the stuff animal becomes a blanket. How perfect for traveling is that?!?

Those people at Zoobies also talked to moms, because the blanket easily comes off and you can wash it. YEAH! This toy has won many toy awards. These pets have micro bead faces and delicately sewn eyes and ears. The blanket is 55 inches long and 35 inches wide, which some reviewers thought was a little big. They are recommended for 3 and up, but have been safely tested for all ages.
