my daughter used to love punky in the 80s so I bought her a punky doll.which I kept in storage in the attic with some of her favourites. after all these years at 38 now her daughter who is 5 and six months is absolutely crazy about Punky. one day I told her the story about how her mom used to dress like punky and how I bought a doll and I'm sure iit is in the attic. she got us to go to attic and get the box of her moms treasure and found Punky . lucky for her the baby sitter who is very good with arts and crafts put Punky back to her glorius self and now she is thrilled with her mummies Punky and lots of show & tell stories to school and teachers are so happy to hear about this Punky
