Reviews

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Never buy any old stuffed animal at a garage sale. Not even if it is a cosy teddy bear. This frightening little tale clearly shows you why all alarm bells should ring when your daughter points out a thing like that. You aren't convinced? Please read the story. And never ever bring the bargain to your home. Highly recommended evil toy story.

Good pacing, but predictable.
