Great Despite Design Flaws Oct 18, 2010
By HeatherTristan
My whole family loves this puppet. She has been dubbed "Dr. Pepper" by my daughter, and we have all spent some time playing with her (grandparents included). Even a 3 year-old can figure out how to move the mouth and the hands to "make her talk." I give this puppet all the credit in obliterating my daughter's fear of doctor visits. As a matter of fact, she insisted on taking Dr. Pepper with us to her 3 year checkup so Dr. Pepper could meet my daughter's "other doctor." She acts out bizarre medical dramas with her other toys, constantly wants Dr. Pepper to take the pulse of every human and pet in the household, and this is four months after she received the toy. Clearly, we are very pleased with the puppet - there are a few tiny areas for improvement, though. The hair is held back in a ponytail by a piece of yarn that cannot be replaced if it comes out. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that Dr. Pepper only had a tonsure-like ring of hair around a bald head since her hair was in a ponytail, so after lots of strands had fallen out and were looking sloppy, I took out the yarn pony-tail holder to fix it only to find that her hair can only be worn in a ponytail due to the tonsure construction. It worked out okay - we just put it back with a regular rubber band, but it doesn't look quite as nice as it did originally after being redone. The other small thing to be aware of is the mask over the puppet's mouth doesn't work very well with a puppet whose raison d'etre is to speak. We tried putting it up in her hair as a surgery cap and pushing it down around her neck, but it wasn't very long before the surgical mask was just another piece of flotsam in the bottom of the toy box. Other than that, the puppet is terrific and of incredibly good quality considering its affordable price.

Adorable and Well Made Jan 10, 2012
By Mamaof3
This sugeon puppet is adorable and well made. You can't go wrond with Melissa and Doug puppets. This is great for little imaginations and has provided hours of delightful and creative fun. Recommend for slightly older children as the size of the puppet is large and somewhat bulky for little hands.
Great puppet! Dec 28, 2011
By Bookgirl
This toy was purchased for my 3 and 5 year old daughters for Christmas along with a few other Melissa and Doug puppets (btw, these puppets aere well over $20 in FAO Shrwartz). They are durable, sturdy, and I know that they will last a long time. I'm just not sure who likes playing with them more - the adults or the kids!
