Toys are cute. They will stand up on their own but fall down with a slight touch or shake of the table. I Would highly recommend for a child's toy but not for a knick knack because the painting of features is sloppy and not very much detail.Toys R Us sells ones that are more true to life but are about double the cost.

Stuffed Standing Meerkat

Bought this and the large size meerkat for Christmas for my 4 year old. He just loves his "mommy and baby" meerkats. Nice quality items.

Meerkat Mail
$17.99
I loved the idea of this book. It's a story about a meerkat who gets tired of where he lives and travels to all his relatives homes and sends back postcards.

There are lots of really good aspects to this book: the fun illustrations, the great "realistic" postcards, the information garnered from reading the descriptions from the postcards, the cute "postmarks" and the sweet ending.

But, there were a few bummers: the writing wasn't always incredible (though it was good), and what bothered me the most was how after a while the author quit naming the "relatives" that our meerkat would visit. So, while we started out learning "that is what a meerkat looks like, that is what a mongoose looks like, etc" by the end I was like, "What animal is that?"

But, overall a very fun and creative read, and there's lots to discover on each page!
