Disney Fairies Tinker Bell Storybook and Kaleidoscope Viewer
Shrek the Third Storybook and Viewer
Children get double the pleasure as they read stories of their favorite Disney Fairies—Tinker Bell, Beck, and Lily—then remove the versatile viewer, pop in a picture disk, and take a glimpse of fairy images that correspond to the story. But there’s more. Look in the opposite side, insert one of three colorful disk, and children can view a plethora of fantastic designs in their kaleidoscope.

Includes a 36-page storybook with 4 fairy stories and a Kaleidoscope Viewer with 6 picture disks for a total of 24 fairy images and 3 kaleidoscope disks.
 
Included is a very cool SHREK head that is a viewer with sound effects plus 10 picture disks to view images from the. As children read the storybook which follows the story from Shrek the Third, they can insert one of the picture disks into the viewer and peer through to see exciting scenes from the movie. The viewer also makes three surprising Shrek sounds, a laugh, a belch and a roar.
Dora's Special Memories Storybook and Toy Camera
Dora's Special Memories Storybook and Toy Camera
With the cool detachable play camera with carry-along strap and 20 picture cards, young fans can take several “photos” from the stories that are based on popular Dora the Explorer episodes.  The opposite side of the cards teaches Spanish words featured from each adventure.  Placing the pictures into the book in the correct order of the story will help children build critical sequencing skills.  Kids will love to join the escapades of Dora and friends, and parents will love all the early learning concepts that come with all the fun.
 
Little girls can read the romantic stories of how Cinderella, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and Ariel fell in love, put on the adorable pink earbuds, and plug them into the music player.  Then, following numerical prompts in the book, they can play one of the 6 romantic songs for each princess (24 in all) that ties into the story.  After they’re done reading, girls will want to take this awesome music player everywhere.  If they’re not feeling particularly “pink,” there is an extra cover girls can use to personalize their music player.
