Very soft blanket
This is the perfect summer blanket. It’s soft and cuddly but not bulky. My Grandson likes it so much I had to buy a second one for my home when he naps.

Beautiful Reproduction of Original Comics
Format: Hardcover
This third volume is just as beautifully done as the first two. High quality reproductions of stories from the remaining issues. With all three volumes you have entire run of Treehouse of Horror that look better than the comics themselves. Volume Three includes a gallery of cover art from the complete run. Highly recommended. Buy all three.
