Coyote 13" Plush Stuffed Animal Toy Review

This is a very soft and well-made plush animal that is sure to please children, animal lovers, and coyote fans. The picture of the product on this page is a good representation. The one I have is very much that color, and he does sit up well as picture. (I think he may have sand or beads in the bottom to weight him down so that he will sit up straight with no tip overs). This coyote has nice, expressive eyes, a soft, leathery-feeling nose, and a bit of a smirk the way his mouth is placed. Thus, he is the perfect Trickster hero of Native American tales.

I purchased this Coyote to be used as a classroom prop for storytelling, mythology, and world tales, and he has been a classroom favorite with the kids, especially since he looks ready to howl! LOL He's fun for creating a display and / or reading center using these items: toy stars scattered on a dark blanket and the following books:
