Cuddle Barn | Octavius The Storytelling Owl 12" Animated Stuffed Animal Plush Toy | Eyes Light Up, Mouth Moves and Head Sways | Wizard Owl Recites 5 Fairy-Tales

This is an absolutely adorable little owl. Great buy for the price. Unfortunately, my 2 year old granddaughter is seriously afraid of him. She was sweetly curious and interested when I first turned him on. Then she decided she wanted to turn him off. Being 2 she wasn't sure how to do it. I don't know if it's the eyes or just the fact this owl is going "Toy story " out in the open. It then turned into crying and her saying "Put him up, he's gonna hurt you." Needless to say, he's back in the plastic bag he came in. I'm hoping after a few months maybe she'll be ok with him. I absolutely love him and his sweet voice. Just be prepared for whatever your outcome maybe. It's sometimes hard to figure out these sweet babies and what they're thinking and possibly afraid of.

This toy when bought new from the Cuddle Barn Store would be such a Cute and Delightful toy for a child. The voice and head and mouth movements are in tune. The voice recording is the Cutest! While it shares five different Storybook Tales. Hansel & Gretel; Jack-n-The Beanstalk; Rapunzel; The Ugly Duckling and Sleeping Beauty. The recordings have music and wonderful sounds added, also, a question is asked after each story cited. Its adorable, but, I prefer Duncan: The Dragon; I feel he is made with a brighter color with has more detail! Everyone has their own preference. There are other characters to choose from; like a cat that would sing in the royal court, during the renaissance era. Octavius is a cute Wizard Owl. Please buy from a reputable seller. I had to return Octavius because he looked pretty worn as an over-handled display toy, that many persons tried. Also, he was sent in a flimsy plastic bag; not a sturdy shipment box. His beak & face was pretty smushed in. The recording was alright condition & very cute! So make sure the seller is dependable, for a high-standard gift for a child.

Octavius is so freaking cute. We bought him for our 1 year old for Christmas. Unfortunately he is 1.5 now and is still terrified of Octavius 🙃 he likes to sneak up on him and knock him over. So I don't know what exactly he thinks of it! Lol. But I think it's soft and well made with nice details (feather ruffles, cape material and print). I love the light up blue eyes. He was a little smushed when he came but he's evened out with some love.

This is a Christmas gift for my 5 year old grandson. He has some speech problems and I am hoping he can get help with this. He is very cute and can be cuddled.

This is very cute and works just like pictured in video but it’s very loud hurts your ears wish there was a volume control.

I purchased this adorable animated reader because I liked the way it holds the attention of children while the stories are being read. The mouth, eyes, head and body move. Big smiles was had by all with a lot of questions asking about the fairytales they just heard. Great gift!

The softness of this animal is Absolutely wonderful. I love that it plays five stories and there is even an option for it to continue without you having to press the foot again it will carry on into the next story or you can press the other foot to just play one. My son absolutely loves his toy, and I am amazed at the quality for the value.

Perfect.. Not only entertaining for the babies but entertaining for the babies brothers and sisters too! Everyone loves it and they all gather to hear the stories. They sit and listen for hours. Perfect - big hit! Teddy Ruxpin was to expensive. I had to find something as close to the old Teddy Ruxpin as possible. I was very pleased with this. His voice is like a small child and loud enough to hear his story telling. He speaks soothingly and strong. It is awesome to have for bedtime. That's what Teddy Ruxpin was for with my own children when they were young. I have been looking for years. Try it.. you won't be disappointed.It comes wrapped up in a clear plastic bag like plastic wrap but I found a box for it. It came quickly as well. Thank you Amazon.
