Her name is Abigail. We call her “Abby”. She has big floppy ears. She has a big nose and she wears a pink totu. Abby is also a gymnast. She likes to go on the balance beam.
Hallmark has really come a long way since the simple birthday card. And story books are no longer the same when you have the character right in your arms accompanying the story.
To have Abby read along with you in the story makes the story comes to life. As you say a specific phrase throughout the book, she will respond. Yes… she will talk to you.
And oh my you should see the excited face light up as she does it.
Now Abby goes to creche, she goes shopping, she goes to bed with Little E… she goes everywhere. The little bunny in a pink tutu has a story to tell everyone.
And to add to the adventures that Abby goes on, simple go onto the Hallmark website and order more stories. There is Abigail and the Lost Purse and Abigail and the Tea Party. I will be certainly ordering these as tea parties are a big hit in our house.
Just a little note… you may have to every now and then switch her off otherwise you may be woken in the middle of the night by some weird and strange voice, wondering who is talking and where that is coming from. It is Abby!
