The Folkmanis people know their craft. This is a wonderful friend. For a finger puppet it is a bit long at 10" -- but worth every centimeter. If you are in the market for a river otter finger puppet (and you should be), this little guy will not disappoint you. Extremely flexible. Versatile (you can wear him on any of your fingers). Brave. Smart. Can't sing, but it would be creepy if he could. He trains very well. A great companion for yourself or the other finger puppets in your life (keep him away from the turtle, though).
