SAN DIEGO - Californer -- Do you remember the Holly Hobby or Raggedy Ann rag dolls? This Christmas, a limited

Joyus Toyus will be stuffing and finishing the products in their USA facility, and using recycled polyester fiber from South Carolina.
Christopher Gann is the owner of Joyus Toyus with his wife Raquel. They have been in the custom plush toy business for over 20 years.

Here is a review of the book from an Amazon reader.
"Most interesting children's book. Interactive book that draws in a child's imagination. I would recommend this children's book for parents, churches and teachers to use. Got to have this for your class or home use."
