Mon Ami Plush Lamb Musical Sleep Toy with Brahms Lullaby, 13 in

The Mon Ami Plush Lamb plays Brahms' Lullaby and stands 13 inches tall — substantial enough to hold, soft enough to earn a permanent spot in the bedroom or playroom. Mon Ami builds these with the kind of quiet attention that shows up in the details: the plush has real weight to it, the musical mechanism is clear and unhurried, and the lamb itself has the sort of considered design that doesn't look out of place in a well-put-together room.

At 13 inches, it sits confidently on a shelf or in a child's arms without being unwieldy. Brahms' Lullaby is one of those pieces of music that has genuine staying power — calm, recognizable, never grating — and hearing it come from something this well-made feels appropriate. A good toy from a brand that treats the category seriously.
