Meet our newest plush friends from Douglas Cuddle Toys, ready to join your summer adventures!

Ophelia the Orchid Mantis: The shades of pink and lavender on her body help her to blend in with orchid flowers, with her full camouflage coming into play when she gently sways back-and-forth, mimicking the plant blowing in a gentle breeze. 🌸

Kumie the Kitsune: Kitsune, fox spirits of Japanese folklore famous for growing additional tails as they age (up to nine in total), so Kumie’s single tail marks him as a young pup, ready to explore! 🦊

Emily the Leaf Sheep: With her sheep-like face and leaf-shaped body, Emily captures the charm of the adorable leaf slug (also known as the leaf sheep), first discovered off the coast of the Japanese island Kuroshima in 1993! 🌿

Find Ophelia, Kumie, Emily, and more adorable pals in the Brown Bookstore Gift Shop.
