My daughter absolutely loves this show.
I clicked on your review because there is a slight obsession with Doc in our house. One night Little Miss kept telling her Daddy there’s a dragon under there! He’s purple! So I asked, “well what is his name.” “Stuffy!”
We will be picking this up for her birthday – thought I could try to win a copy. Oh well, fun review!
