In today's news, from the Associated Press, Linus's blanket has
landed recently in the National Toy Hall of Fame! Curators said the blanket
was a special addition in the spirit of two earlier inductees, the cardboard
box and the stick. They praised its ability to serve either as recreational
raw material or an accessory transferred in many ways by a child's
imagination. For Linus, the comfort imparted by his precious blue blanket
blends with its"play function" as a lasso, a whip, a Snoopy tow rope and, in
later adventures, "when he talks about turning his blanket into a sports coat
when he grows up." Getting into the National Toy Hall of Fame isn't easy.
Each toy must be widely recognized, foster learning, creativity or
discovery through play, and endure in popularity over generations. Yeah, for
our blankets!
