My 3-yr-old granddaughter was very impressed with Toto when she saw the DVD at my house. Since she loves animals, I HAD to get this for a Christmas gift. I will try to strengthen the basket somehow before I give it to her, as she's very inclined to be hard on her belongings.

Toto is so lifelike. My one and a half year old daughter is going to dress as Dorothy for Halloween so this is the perfect prop. The basket seems sturdy although we haven't played with it yet, it will be easy to carry and she'll be able to play with it long after Halloween is over. I have a small collection of Wizard of Oz items so this will fit in very well also.

I have searched and searched for a basket & a Toto that looked like the one in the Movie. I finally found it in Lillian Vernon! I was thrilled when I recieved it and it was exactly what I had been looking for, right down to the details of the basket. Now I need an Oil Can for my Tin Man!
