How theres always a request for one more, and just one more after that? If youre like most parents, youd love to oblige your curious child as his mind expands and grows…but there are those dishes to be washed and errands to be run. Heres your chance to let someone else step in for a moment! T.J. Bearytales is your man. Or bear. This plush-on-hard-plastic teddy is not necessarily the most cuddly guy around, but he does have the corner on the entertainment market for the under-six crowd. Just slip a cartridge into T.J.s backpack and press play. The bear comes to life with animated facial features and gesturing arms as he tells stories, asks questions, sings, laughs, and leads activities. Kids can follow along with the storybook as they learn school-readiness skills like listening, following directions, cooperation, and friendship. But of course all theyll care about is the chance to hear one more story…as often as they can insert cartridges! Includes bear, storybook, and instructions, as well as a recording of "My Big Birthday Surprise" story. Other story cartridges can be purchased separately. Requires four "D" batteries (not included). --Emilie Coulter Product Description Welcome to the amazing world of T.J. Bearytales, where it's always time for a story. T.J. Bearytales is a storytelling friend with an animated mouth, ears, eyes, nose and arms. In T.J.'s imaginative world, a story is more than just something to read - it's a place to imagine possibilities and make great discoveries. This cuddly bear doesn't just tell a story - he asks questions and weaves engaging songs and activities right into the tale. T.J. also goes beyond teaching basic ABCs and 123s -- he teaches life skills that prepare your child for school. Silly songs and deep belly laughs add to the fun. T.J. comes with one pre-programmed story, and his attached backpack holds up to four story cartridges (additional cartridges sold separately). Simply pop the storybook cartridge into T.J.'s backpack and help your child read along with the included 24-page illustrated storybook. You'll even find additional activities in the storybook for you and your child. T.J. measures 13.5" tall. Requires 4 "D" batteries (not included). Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism One of the best toys I've seen in ages for young children. In a world where video games have taken over, this little fellow is a true joy. Right out of the box, my son was engaged by the story and could not stop playing with the bear. Although not cuddly, this toy seems to keep his attention and I had to go out to get a few more books. Great for independent play, he can read right along with TJ. The stories are simple and well written. Just perfect for his age. I have several nephews and nieces in the age range and I think this will make a great present for the holidays. Hasbro Playskool T.J.
