This was recommended, but I can't find a trace of it! The name relates to an owl, I think. Ring a bell for anybody? Looking for the tune and/or a recording. Thanks!! |

Mark, I have been trying to remember just how the Ookpik doll popularity came about. It was a promotion of some kind. I know we suckered and bought a couple to give to kids. My wife thinks we may have one, and is digging around in the basement looking for it. |
