Who?

So Mom (yet again) got wrangled by advertising and bought a stuffed owl that was ranked “Number 1 Toy” by somebody.  Who, you ask.  I have no idea.

Sure, it’s a good toy.  It is made very well.  It is soft and cuddly.  The wings are crinkly.  There is a little baby owl attached to it.  It has a loop out the bottom that has a leaf shaped chew toy on one side and a wooden loop on the other.  These are all the good features.

Now for the not so great features.  The wooden loop has already broken (it wasn’t me).  The loop was pretty handy because the chew toy could be fed through the loop to “tie” the owl to things.  Good for hanging on to the stroller.

The other thing that I have found confusing about this owl is its anatomy.  I’m only 7 months old so my animal kingdom knowledge is limited but I’m pretty sure that it is kangaroo’s that have a pouch to hold their babies, not owls.  I tried to look at the labels on the owl to see if they explain this freak of nature.  Kangaroo/owl breeding?  Radioactive mutation? Or is the owl wearing some type of pants with a baby pocket?

Long story short, as long as you can suspend your reality about the baby pouch, I would rank this pretty high on the toy ranking.  Number 1?  Probably not.  But I’ll give it top 20.
