These are entirely too creepy for me. I love Dr. Seuss for the rhymes but the creatures tend to be a little creepy, perhaps this is why I was Seuss deprived as a child. I would not want this in my home, stuffed animals are as far as I'd go because they can still be cute, these are too detailed.

Absolutely lovely!

Oooh, I really want to make fabric slipcover for the generic metal futon in my son's room now.

Just more inspiration for a future reading nook.

I live in Chicago, and I don't have strong feelings either way about bumpers. I have them but we bedshare so the entire crib is merely decorative.
I would like to make a couple comments because I feel like there are so many different issues. One, bumpers alone are listed in the cause of death (suffocation and not SIDS mind you.) Sleep positioners, which are not available anywhere in the U.S. are associated with nearly every bumper related death since babies can become trapped between the positioner and the bumper.
Additionally, bumpers are advised against in the National Institutes of Health, Back to sleep campaign here in the U.S. but since they are widely available, people continue to use them.
Should they have been banned without sufficient evidence? No, but it is what it is. I don't think its total government nannying either. Its a city ordinance, and there are many more bizarre ordinances than this one. Why aren't more people complaining about government intrusion on lawncare and yard ornaments?
