Wind-Up Bird

I was thrilled to find this, as I read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

There's some simultaneously innocent and haunting about this figurine that is chilling and endearing at once.

Perfect. "Creepy" is like the perfect adjective for that book -- and since that's what I was going for...yay!

Should I send him along for Cooper and Polly to play with?

Understood; then I'll hang onto him. Maybe he'll become my Skippy.
I suppose "Skippy 2" is too unoriginal a name...
