By: Cece Feinberg PR In 2007, Sterling Publishing released the first illustrated children’s book, co-authored by Peter Yarrow and Lenny Lipton, based on the song Puff, the Magic Dragon. The tale of Puff is brought to life in the book with vibrant, full-color illustrations that captivates kids' imaginations, and allows parents to relive their own childhoods. While the song ended with young Jackie Paper leaving behind Puff, his childhood friend, to seek out the real world, the storybook has added a wonderful and touching coda to the story: Jackie Paper’s young daughter is introduced to Puff and befriends him, just as her father did. Now, five years after the release of the book, Puff, the Magic Dragon is brought to life with the new Kids Preferred Puff plush toy. Inspired by the book, Puff-- a sumptuously soft toy rendered in a beautiful moss green soft fabric. Puff is available in a large 16” model, or a toddler-friendly 11” size. He is hand-washable and is suitable for children of any age. Puff is a dream dragon -- he has a long neck, a curved back, a warm and friendly face with a long snout -- perfect for fire-breathing or kissing -- and his wings are edged in deep forest green. Puff is the perfect doll for kids to play with, cuddle, and keep company while they read their beloved storybook! Kids Preferred has created a range of Puff merchandise, including the plush dolls, in celebration of Puff, the Magic Dragon's 50th anniversary. There is also a melamine dinner set, a set of utensils, and a boxed-set of finger puppets guaranteed to keep any child engaged for hours.
