Not all children respond openly to Miss. Schnatterschnute. I already have a lot of puppets, but this doll splits the group of children very. Some shudder and other children she fascinated. You have to try it yourself, since it depends heavily on the character of the children (and age). Drawback: The doll HAART and very unlikely to be so at Living Puppets. I am of two minds as to whether I would buy the doll again.
