The pillow includes a relatively flat bottom wall adapted to rest upon a bed or floor surface, a portion of such bottom wall defining the undersurface of the animal's lower jaw. It is the inflated lower jaw that serves as a resilient support for a child's head when the pillow is in use, the child's head thus being positioned within the animal's open mouth. Deformation of the pillow resulting from the weight of a child's head on the resilient lower jaw causes air displacement which in turn produces slight but noticeable movement of the animal's upper jaw. One or more partitions may be provided within the pillow to reinforce the pillow and limit the extent and/or rate of such air displacement. | |
