This Glowberry Bear is green, the youngest and cutest on the scene. Smart and athletic, he has it all, and is always there to help when his best friends call. Day after day, this fastest Glowberry Bear is out, discovering what Snooky Island’s all about. The Glowberry Bears are 12-inch soft plush, adorable daytime friends; at night they are huggable, cuddly, night-lights. The Glowberry Bears glow and giggle if their tummies are rubbed. A squeeze of their left paw and they become a cuddly night-light. The Glowberry Bears can actually talk to kids and when two Glowberry Bears are in the same proximity they talk to each other!
