Hi everyone, No one asked for a hit but I thought it prudent to provide one anyway if just so that the information is now preserved in the archives. Have a nice rest of the summer! Bill Katzenberger http://www.toycon.com/plush/plushandbooks.html http://www.demco.com/webprd_demco/product_index/LRN_REE_060.htm Here's some puppets: http://midhudson.org/program/support/Puppets.htm Here's a few: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&index=toys&field-keywords=Book%20Characters&page=1 I'm also being told that Borders and Barnes & Noble have many, many stuffed book characters. I wouldn't know - I don't go to them that often. Kohl's Dept. also sells a childrens book w/ stuffed characters every season. Here take a look: http://www.kohls.com/main/brand_subcategory.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=11748493&bmUID=1186156981053 You missed merrymakersinc.com. This is the best place to order stuffed animals for your library. E-bay has many, many of these for sale - just put in the name of the character. I have a vast collection that I've acquired from thrift shops but I love to troll thrift shops Highsmith, and Folkmanis are also a couple of places to check as well as School Specialty catalogs. Folkmanis has alot of stuffed toys that double as puppets and can be used for storytime. Also, National School Supply I believe is another one Scholastic's Education Resource Catalogs often has stuffed characters. Lots of great stuffed toys can be found in the Library of Congress' online store, here: http://tinyurl.com/37m63t just stumbled on this website yesterday: http://www.heyteach.biz/. You will find quite a few characters there, including Sendack's Wild Things, Olivia the pig, Curious George, Frog and Toad, and Skippyjohn Jones. Try http://www.yottoy.com/ I saw their booth at the Book Expo in NYC and all of their toys looked good... and my partner at Forest Ridge got together a large order (they offered her a discount at a certain number... I think 100... when she saw them at the ALA conference in DC). She ordered almost exclusively Mo Willems character (pigeon, Anthony the Terrible Monster, Knuffle Bunny, etc.) and they look good.
