Good news– Spot is back!  Toddlers will love the new oversized 16″ ($30)  friendly pup from Kid Preferred –just right for hugging and lugging about. Spot is not too heavy making him a fun companion.  Equally appealing is the 6″ bean bag version ($9.00)  (much squishier than the larger Spot).  A great take along choice.  Our recommendation is to bring Spot home with some books.  We’re giving both versions an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award.  Also notable from the Kids Preferred is their line of Eric Carle inspired plush.
