For years, people have written to me asking if there will be an Escargot plush toy. Some people have even made their own, an activity I happily endorse. (Please send me photos if you do!) But if you aren't the crafty type, and you want to shower your pent-up pandemic love on someone who considers you his favorite animal, you can now order a squeezable Escargot plush toy from the fine folks at Merrymakers.

Isn't he adorable?
