"May 17: I was born today! It's a beautiful, sunny spring day!"
This is the diary of P. Mantis, one of 150 brothers and sisters born on a garden bush. P. Mantis is an amazing bug: she can make herself look like a stick to hide from predators, she can swivel her head all the way around, and when she's grown up she'll even be able to fly!
In dated journal entries P. Mantis describes the entirety of her life, sharing the fun and beauty of her world as well its little ups and downs ("I ate one of my brothers. Okay, maybe two"). Colorful, bold art helps illustrate the different stages of the mantis life cycle, and the engaging, narrative text is paired with more detailed information about praying mantises on the heavily-illustrated endpapers.

cute, one toy came broken
Super cute toys my dog loves small squeaky toys like these, one of the toys sadly came broken as it doesn’t squeak but can’t complain too much since you get a couple of them for a good price.

Great toys for small dogs
Bought for two cocker spaniels. They both love the toys. Haven’t figured out how to make the squeakers squeak yet but are having fun tossing them and chewing on them. Also appreciate the bag to keep the toys in after play time is over,

Cute toys for tiny pups
These are much better than I expected at this price. My new puppy is a 2 pound Papillon and it’s not easy finding toys small enough. These are a good size for him and he is enjoying the squeakers and crinkle paper. It’s nice to have a bunch of them so when he starts nipping at my fingers or other things he isn’t allowed to chew, I always have a toy handy to divert his attention.

Wonderful
Set name: 8 Pack Plush Squeaky Toys
My dog has a very small mouth and she loves these these because she can actually play with them. They are sturdy, soft, squeaker works well, and a good variety of shapes and colors. Would purchase again and recommend.
