Disclosure: Mail4Rosey received a product to help facilitate the review. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.
Merry Makers Inc. is such a great place to find storybook characters (they also sell sets that include the plush and the book). They've got tons of family favorites like a great Skippyjon Jones puppet, an awesome 'On the Night You Were Born' plush polar bear, an Olivia, and oooooh my goodness a cute Fly Guy plush, just to name a few.
Do you know 'Pete the Cat?' Chances are if you have young children, you do. Pete is one of our most favorite book characters, and we think one of his best stories is, "I Love My White Shoes." In the story, Pete goes through a number of things (like stepping in strawberries, mud, and water) that change the color of his shoes. We are lucky enough to have the CD for that book, so we like to sing the song while we're reading too.
Here you see the adorable Pete with one blue shoe, and one red shoe. How cute and right in line with one of his best stories.
This Pete is 14.5" tall. He has floppy legs, a long curly tail, cute yarn whiskers, and a well-stitched heart. He's soft, light, and very easy to carry.
Pete's great for snuggling too. :)
What better way to enjoy story time and encourage a love of reading than to present your child with one of his/her favorite story book characters (or introduce him/her to a new one)? I think these would be a great gift to present to teachers too...you know they're going to love having a plush for a story they have in the classroom.
Check out the MerryMakers Inc. website to see all of the great characters they have available. Chances are pretty good you'll find yourself oohing & ahhing just like I do every time I visit.

I think I totally missed Pete the Cat, but he looks really cute. I think my boys would like something from Merrymakers, though!!
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable. My favorite is the One Love Doll, she's a cutie. I could see myself with a whole collection of Merry Maker plush dolls.
ReplyDeleteI really like that these huggable dolls are based on favorite children's book characters. This makes reading so much more fun
ReplyDeleteMy gr-daughter's first grade class put on a play from "Pete the Cat". My sweet girl was the narrator! It was one darn cute performance.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I could see how he would be a hit with the kids!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway and review. thanks!

He's so cute holding that cat! I would love to get Skippyjon Jones. My son loves him!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable are those pictures? I really like the review you did and the plush is so cute as well. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThey have some of our current favorites, as well as some that we loved when Elliott was younger. I was actually surprised that they had some of the ones for chapter books, it seems like many things only have the characters for picture boards.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Pete the Cat. Just got the 4 groovy buttons at the last book fair
ReplyDeleteI like the Skippyjon Jones Doll. Thanks.

I like that their products are safety tested before being out on the market :)
ReplyDeleteI like the Wish of the Rainbow Fish :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to have the Ladybug Girl for my niece. I know she would love it.
ReplyDeleteI saw many animals I loved but I believe Babymouse Doll is my very favorite. My two year old granddaughter believes she is "Queen of the World" so she could really relate to this.
ReplyDeleteAll of the Cassie and The Wild Cat books caught my eye, especially Roam Far From Home.
ReplyDeleteI like the Nightsong Doll
ReplyDeleteI like that these huggable dolls are based on favorite children's book characters:)
