 | Leappad
Learning fun.
This talking book comes with an interactive "magic pen" that works like a hand-held computer mouse pointer. Children can opt to turn the paper pages and listen to the story read with different voices for each character. Or they can interrupt the read-aloud session to play with the magic pen (permanently attached with a wire). They can point the pen tip to any word on a page and hear it pronounced, or touch a picture and hear a sound effect (such as "Strike one!" for the baseball bat). Very similar to the popular Living Books computer games, this 10-by-11-inch book is more portable than a home computer. Stories in this set include Lil's Loose Tooth, Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, and Winnie the Pooh in A Sweet Good Morning. The set also includes a paper piano keyboard and map and human anatomy games. |

 | I-Cybie Robotic Dog - Blue
Woof! Woof!
I-Cybie evolves from a puppy to a mature dog. His evolution is dependent upon interaction with his environment and his owner. He needs to be taught tricks and games, rewarded with positive reinforcement or scolded when he has done something bad. Just like a real dog I-Cybie can be programmed to only respond to his owner's voice. I-Cybie has state of the Art sensor arrays enable I-cybie to detect walls and obstacles to prevent collisions. I-cybie is capable of sensing movement and changes in ambient light. His sensors are even sophisticated enough to determine the direction of a noise, even TV noise. Touch sensors help I-Cybie to determine when he is being petted and stroked. After about 20 to 30 minutes of inactivity, I-Cybie drops into sleep mode. When I-Cybie senses that it needs to be recharged, it lowers its body down in a yoga position with it legs splayed out so that you know it running low on power. I-Cybie also has smart sensor technology that enables I-Cybie to find its charging station and plug itself in to be recharged when it realizes it is tired and needs more energy. |

 | Bratz Rock Angelz - CD Boom Box
Rockin' an' Rollin'
The Bratz Rock Angelz know it’s not just about looking great; you have to sound great, too. With its sleek, handbag shape, red fabric speaker panels, and vertical-loading CD compartment, this boom box is a rockin’ accessory for any Bratz with a "passion for fashion." Funky design is everywhere, from the sleek silver ring that holds the CD-player buttons to a smooth black handle that lies flat when resting on a dresser. The single-disc player offers great functionality, including intro search, programmable memory, repeat, and random play, while the digital display features track number and elapsed time. To scan the AM/FM tuner for the hippest new hits, pull up the telescopic antenna and spin the side knobs to control volume and station tuning. When the grooving gets out of hand, a 15-second memory buffer keeps the skips from spoiling the dance steps. For even more musical possibilities, an auxiliary input channels portable MP3 devices. While the speakers sound great, for an extra kick hit the Bass Boost button, or plug headphones into the jack on the front and rock to your own beat. |

 | iDog (White)
Woof!
Move over, man’s best friend, the iDog’s here! Nourished exclusively on music (although, like all of us, it appreciates a little positive attention), the palm-sized iDog moves and grooves to the rhythm of your musical beat. For a robotic canine, the iDog is remarkably expressive, employing an entertaining assortment of flashing lights, head tilts, ear lifts, and even growls (should you flick its tail). Plug it into a portable music device with the included dual connector cable, and watch it respond while the built-in speaker plays along. All dogs like to be off the leash, however, so iDog can go wireless, too--simply place it next to a speaker, or take it anywhere music is playing. With such winning design, even those skeptical of robotic toys may find themselves giving it a pat on the head to reward it for rocking well done, or pressing its nose to let the pup take a nap. Multicolored lights, sounds, and movements, along with a "personality" programmed by your continued musical input, keep the iDog fun and interesting. |

 | Electric Guitar with Built In Amplifier & Speaker
Eric Clapton can move over!
This lacquered child's guitar is a great first instrument for young enthusiasts, or kids who just want to jam with an adult. It embodies every feature professional electric guitars do; all parents need to supply are lessons. At 30 inches, it's not intimidating but inviting. Its just the right size for elementary school amateurs, but its small, smooth body (including a solid maple neck and fingerboard), real steel strings, and "vintage" coil make it sound and feel as real as a grownup's guitar. A headphone jack can be used for speakers, and the output jack next to it can be used for the amplifier. |

 | Barbie B-Book Version 5.0
Brains and Beauty… Barbie gets a Laptop!
Girls learn that it’s possible to possess beauty and brains as they use this "laptop" to master 1st- and 2nd-grade-level learning skills under the bright and peppy tutelage of Barbie. Although not a traditional laptop in the sense of having data storage capabilities or Internet connectivity, the B-Book is designed for portability and packed with 60 different games and activities to enhance girls’ classroom success. The learning system offers 15 activities to practice spelling, vocabulary, and grammar; 12 mathematics and logic units; 11 memory and music activities; 7 fun games and keyboarding skills tutorials; 10 beginner Spanish activities; and 5 additional girlie games. Each activity has five levels of progression and Barbie gives girls three tries to answer each challenge, with enthusiastic encouragement along the way, and then provides the right response if kids are still struggling. Less engaging is the screen, which measures only 3-3/4 inches long and 1-1/2 inches tall, providing a tiny viewing window set within a permanent picture of Barbie on a striped background. In addition, the highly pixilated, 1-bit black-and-white graphics (which many parents will remember from their middle school days) are rather disappointing and outdated. The Barbie B-Book comes with a mouse and Barbie mouse pad. |
