Complete with doe-eyed dolls and sweet plush kittens, Hello, Cutie! is the perfect title for collectors and enthusiasts who live and breathe all things cuddly and adorable.'

Reviews

You don't have to collect or even love cute itself to enjoy this book ...Hello, Cutie! will introduce you to cute and those of us who love it and, I think, have you understanding, if not agreeing with us. And if you, or someone you love, gets high off low-brow, this is the book to get. --Collectors' Quest
