Gold award winner: Journey from Grandpa’s story sack.

In this sack: Cloth sack, Fiction storybook and CD, Non-fiction book, Parent guide and prompt, Fabric Playmat and 9 plush pieces of transport, Spaghetti Junction game.
All items are available separately.

The storysack concept is an innovative one. To combine multiple aspects ( role play, story, music, book and toys) in a themed set along with a parental guide makes choosing and using familiar and new stories even more exciting.

My question: Is there a US equivalent?
