Zoobie Dooby Doo

Congratulations to Jackie H., the winner of our Zoobie giveaway!

What’s that urban legend about never smiling at a crocodile? Pure rubbish. Take this crocodile, for example. How can you look at this lil’ guy (his official name is “Kojo” but I call him “Sven”) and not put on a happy face?

Kojo makes the perfect reptilian companion, with a super-squishy head you can’t help but hug. A few rips of the velcro, and Kojo spreads out to reveal himself as the pillow he was always meant to be. Break him open, and inside you’ll find the severed hand of a pirate and a ticking clock. . . no, that’s wrong. You’ll find a soft, detachable blankie.

Perfect for the car, a trip to Grandma’s, planes, trains, RVs, blimps, etc.

As for smiling at real crocodiles? Perfectly safe. Swimming in a croc-infested lake with a raw chicken tied around your neck? Um, I wouldn’t.

Also available: panda, wildebeest (no kidding!), giraffe, and many more.

$34 ($25 for smaller “baby” Zoobies). Visit the official Zoobies Web site for store locations or to order.

And. . . and. . . we’re giving one away! Leave a comment for your chance to win a member of the Zoobie menagerie, courtesy of the Zoobie keepers themselves.

  1. OMG how cute!!! You find the bestest things, Carli! (and I’m super glad there’s no severed pirate hand inside!)

  2. I would love to win one of these. Our favorite is Lencho the lion and I’ve been trying for a very long time now to win one. I might end up buying one for X-mas for my little girl. They are fantastic!
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  3. These are so sweet! My little guy would absolutely love one of these. He just adores his blankies and soft teddies and he doesn’t like it if he doesn’t have something underneath his head. He just turned 5 months old and is FINALLY learning to sleep on his own, but I hate to leave too much in his crib I’m afraid that he’s going to strangle himself rolling around. One toy that incorporates all of these would be absolutely wonderful!

  28. Your post was hilarious–love the line about the ticking clock and severed pirate hand!

    My favorite item in the Zoobie Menagerie is Rhaxma the Rhino, who is “sad that he is on the Endangered list,” but happy to be a friend to my child, which is FANTASTIC because my son has “adopted” a Rhinon in Africa named Piggy to help fund conservation efforts–rhinos are his FAVORITE animal in the world! He never asked for teddy bears, but we have stuffed rhinos all over the house, and I just couldn’t resist trying to win this cool Zoobie pet for my son. I love that it is a pillow, blanket AND a plush toy!
