Since they were babies, my children absolutely loved Eric Carle’s books, especially The Hungry Little Caterpillar, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See.  So, when Kids Preferred toy company recently released a new line of plush toys, The World of Eric Carle, featuring these beloved characters, I knew that both of my kids would love them.

We received The Hungry Little Caterpillar and I am so impressed with the quality, the vibrant colors, and the softness!  My daughter immediately claimed him for herself and started “feeding” him, because, of course, he is very hungry.  I was happy to see her associate the plush animal with the book instantaneously.  It definitely gives us an opportunity to read the books with both her and my son, and discuss the storyline.

Our Hungry Little Caterpillar is now one of my daughter’s favorite stuffed animals.  The World of Eric Carle plush collection also includes Brown Bear, and Grouchy Ladybug, and others, as well as puppets.  Each would make a great holiday gift, especially paired with the book!  You can buy The World of Eric Carle plush collection at http://www.ticastoys.com/SearchResult.aspx?&Manufacturer=45.
