This dark patch begins to grow! As it spreads over the ground and disturbs the tranquility of their woodland home, these adorable friends take turns trying to solve this strange mystery. How will the naturally inventive ‘Hoodwinks save the day? Ingenious photo-illustrations make stuffed animals come alive in a textured and stitched landscape.

True to the doll’s original handcrafted designs, the illustrations’ ingenious landscapes of colorfully patterned fabrics will entrance children. Wonderful vistas that spring from sewn cloth will remind parents of cozy homespun quilts.
