After I had loaned me the Cookie Monster, my daughter was very sad when I had to give it back. Now she got her own KM and was very happy about it. The KM is particularly suitable for children who are more shy or otherwise not say much about the "speaking" KM can then good contact. Our Cookie Monster "eats" like nuts and then we have here both a lot of fun. That influenced too much, I can not confirm. Only criticism: For (very) large adult hands rather too small.
