Like the books about dolls, these books explore the relationship between children and stuffed animals or feature stuffed animals themselves as main characters. Although many of the stuffed animals come to life and have adventures of their own, their human owners are not always aware of it. Some of these series had versions of the stuffed animals that people could buy for their children.
