I bought this, along with the 7 bean-filled animals that go with it, to go with the book that I bought for my sister-in-law's baby shower.  She loved getting one of my favorite childhood books along with the doll and animals to make it even more fun.  A unique gift that no one else thought of.  The packaging it came in could have been a little nicer since I was giving it as a gift, but it wasn't that big of a concern.
