Contemporary YOTTOY Plush Toys - Kroc and Watermelon, 8 & 4

YOTTOY's Kroc, inspired by Greg Pizzoli's award-winning book The Watermelon Seed, is a delightful plush toy that brings this beloved story to life. Sitting upright in the softest velour with outstretched arms, Kroc's pink felt tongue and wide-toothed smile exude a sense of pure fun and playfulness. Holding a brightly colored slice of watermelon with a textured corduroy rind, this plush crocodile character captures the hilarious essence of the original tale, where a crocodile wonders what will happen if he swallows a watermelon seed - a relatable experience for children.

YOTTOY, a specialty toy company founded in 1995, is dedicated to bringing beloved characters from children's literature to life through high-quality plush creations.
