It is love at first sight for my little one when he saw it in the store. Little “Rexy” became part of our family soon after. While he has many plushy, this is the only one that he would have conversation with like an imaginary friend. We have seen great improvement in his speech development since we got this little plush. My son has speech delay and we were having trouble getting him to engage in conversation with others. Who would have thought that a cute and friendly looking little Hand puppet would help so much.
