RUSS has come out with the perfect gift to give your little ballerina to break the pre-dance jitters or to reward a beautiful performance. The shining stars Ballerina Bichon is a fluffy soft white stuffed dog in a pink tutu with a twist. Each “Shining Star” toy from Russ comes with the ability to name your own star through the International Star Registry of Illinois, and to participate in an online environment.

This 128 page “baby journal” is unlike any other baby journal that I have ever seen before. Its pages are largely left wide open for you to write, draw, paste a memento or a picture, or celebrate your baby in whatever creative way you feel most suitable. Traditional “baby colors” and “baby art” are wonderfully absent from this baby journal. Instead this journal is characterized by muted colors and simple elegant illustrations.
