But, hey, she's so twee. She's so, so twee. Nobody will ever believe otherwise, because they're too busy despising the stuff to ever actual look at it properly.
We had an aunt kept giving us them, but we never really liked them very much.
(I haven't read any of these things. Blinky Bill sounds maybe more fun? Or maybe not, it depends on how children feel about it!)
