I remember this being read to me when I was a kid. I loved it.

One that isn't so popular, but was probably my favourite, was Tiddalik the frog.

Also, I remember reading chicken licken and hating it because of the ending ;_;

I have a plush of the dragon on my dorm windowsill at college. :)

It's not super plushy, but rather a handpainted felt doll. I think it might be rare, never seen another!
