Synopsis

Is your child's stuffed animal collection taking over the house?

Tessa and Emma adore their stuffed animals and have acquired quite a few over the years. But it's not long before their house is completely overrun and things start to get a little out of control! Can the family find a solution to the growing collection and learn some valuable lessons along the way?

The Great Stuffy Takeover provides a fun and exaggerated take on a familiar problem for many young families: growing piles of beloved plush toys! Children often form strong connections to their favourite stuffies. These precious toy collections have important roles to play; they provide children with comfort and companionship, and give them a way to build confidence, develop imagination, and practice social skills. The Great Stuffy Takeover teaches children how to love their toys while setting limits, keeping their space tidy, and working together toward solutions. Full of colour, and some fun imagery and rhymes, it's a book both parents and kids can relate to.
