This sweet little lamb belonged to me as a child. It's very snuggly and soft. It contains a music box that plays "Mary had a Little Lamb" - makes sense, right? It will play for quite a while if you wind it up all the way. The wind-up key is on the tummy. I don't know much about where it came from, but it was a gift from my great-aunt, who purchased it though mail order because she lived far away and couldn't get to a store. It would have been purchased around 1988-1990. It would be fantastic as a baby shower gift or in an Easter basket!
