The toy looks great and my 3 year old loves to cuddle with it - functionally, though, it is a big disappointment. I think this toy appeals to kids in the 2-5 age range (my 6 y/o will have nothing to do with it) who will also have the hardest time manipulating it. The pull-string is extremely short and very hard to pull out for a little kid. The string is so short that by the time you pull it out all the way the toy can barely do anything, especially with the propeller feature. The push-down squirter is also hard to use for little hands. For such a big toy, it's very limited.
