Help me give my students plush reading buddies to go along with their stories!

My Project
For this project, I am requesting plush stuffed animals that correspond with classic and newer picture books. I am requesting a variety of characters to speak to all different readers. From Fly Guy to Winnie the Pooh to Bruce the grumpy bear, there is something for everyone!
There's nothing better than curling up with a good book, except maybe adding a matching plush friend!
These plush creatures will add an element of comfort to the library and be enjoyed by students of all ages. By requesting a variety of characters, I am hoping to broaden their literary horizons.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
