I bought this bunny for my grandaughter at birth, she absolutely loves it. Unfortunately, just before her first birthday she lost it on her way home from creche so I had to buy another, as she was inconsolable. As soon as the lid was taken from the box she lunged at the bunny and gave it a big squeeze and hug, her 'lost' bunny was home and we were all relieved she recognized her - the old bunny had maintained its appearance so well after several dips in the washing machine that my grandaughter didn't notice the replacement - a sign of quality I am sure. This is the best bunny a child could have, and I am now going to buy another - just in case we have another bunny missing in action!
