FTT RECOMMENDS:

Looking for a terrific travel toy. Then RUN, don't walk, to the store or your computer, and order Story Readerª for your youngster.

This lightweight portable electronic storybook reader will help make the miles fly by — whether you travel by car, plane or train. Kids simply need to open the plastic case that has been fitted with a book and cartridge. That's it. No buttons to push, no other devices to bring along. Story Readerª reads the story — complete with sound effects — as kids turn the pages. Best yet, thereÕs a plug for headphones so kids can listen while others around them can enjoy reading their own books!

Designed for ages 5 and older, we gave this to a family with a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old and it was a incredible success. Even the younger child was able to use it on his own. And, the kids were also able to use it together — leaving their mom and dad time to indulge their newborn.

Story Readerª comes with The Lion King book and there are currently more than 50 titles available, including a number of other Disney classics plus other easily child-recognizable books, some from Sesame Workshop, Nickelodeon, Scooby-Doo and more. My favorites are the Beatrix Potter books, which I spend hour after hour reading to my boys when they were young.

The main unit sells for $24.99, books/cartridges $12.99 each, $24.99/set of 3. Headphones and batteries are not included.
