Unsung Heroes of Kids’ Books- Part 1
This is part one of a two part scientific exploration into the world of neglected characters in kids’ books. This one shall feature secondary characters that I love dearly. These include characters that just happen to be hanging out on a page, and also the lovies of the main characters.
Can you even stand it? His toy is Babar! Classic. But wait ’til you see the next one…
That is ERNIE gracing this cage. Picturing a smiling armadillo curled up with Ernie makes me feel all giggly.
I love the kitty doll with the dead eye and stripey legs. Pretty much everything about the Olivia books is good- look at the robot in the next pic. I want to be its friend.
Who remembers Lowly Worm? He’s probably the greatest B-lister there ever was.
Charlie and Lola is a cartoon that comes from the UK and is super cute. The animation style is pretty choppy and collagey, and this elephant toy on the ground is something I could easily see in an Etsy shop
Hello, crazy little pony. May I poke you in your bloated stomach?
Well, hello even crazier little puppy. Or perhaps psychotic little devil-critter would be a more appropriate name.
Need I even explain why a mini blue kangaroo is cool? No wonder the little girl is gazing at him.
Llama llama is an incredibly annoying book to read, that my 2 year old is quite taken with. I just like his stuffed llama buddy.
