review 1: Hard book to read as some of these toys, who are best friends, are seriously loved so much that there isn't much left. What I wouldn't give to find Jocko the Clown, who was with me through many a thumb sucking night and was even professionally photographed (with me and my thumb). At least I have Bear and might offer to let Nixon photo him. For those of you from NIU's North Neptune, he was the guy who was hung in effigy from the clock in the hall and lived to tell the story...and he never held a grudge.
review 2: If you were to just flip through this book, only looking at the pictures, you'd probably end up a little creeped out. As a group, these stuffed toys are threadbare, missing limbs, missing eyes, stained, matted, and misshapen. If you stumbled into an ... moreold room in an old house and found these teddies staring you down, you'd start looking for a place to hide from the inevitable serial killer who collected them.But happily, they are not a group with one owner and you don't have to rely on the photos alone for their stories. Instead, you get to find out how old they are, and some little anecdote. How the bear was lost, or nearly lost, and recovered. How repairs were made. How they came along when their owners left home, or how they comforted the owners' loved ones when the owner was lost.It's a nice collection, and inspires some serious nostalgia. (Mine is named George. He's a sock monkey, and lives in my room on top of my bureau.) less
