This puppet is so cute in the photo online, and I had high hopes that it would be a nice gift for my nephew, a big Curious George fan. The fact is it's not exactly like the pictured one, being less and differently stuffed in the head so the face looks baggy and not friendly at all. The arms also seem much longer than the one shown, and my much longer than average fingers only reach George's elbow. This makes for gimpy, limited movements that are just pathetic. Where in the photo George can apparently bend his arm to wave, I can only get him to bend at the shoulder. Too bad the mouth doesn't move to make up for the arms. This puppet is very soft, but in my opinion not snywhere near as cute in person as other Curious George stuffed animals (without the puppet feature), and so not worth the time or money.
