Alice and Chewbacca

Some friends of ours got Alice a Chewbacca doll for Christmas two years ago.  If you press its belly, it "talks" like Chewbacca too.  Alice was first afraid of it, then indifferent, and now Chewbacca is her best friend.  It took a week of correcting to teacher her he is a Wookie, not a lion.  

Simon, who calls Chewbacca by the last syllable of his name, was also initially afraid of him, but now will occasionally work up the courage to touch him.
