 Name: Disney´s The Little Mermaid Storybook Pillow
Company: SENARIO LLC
Age: 3 and up
Price: $34.99
Category: Furniture & Decor
What Is It?
This full-sized sleeping pillow imprinted with Disney’s The Little Mermaid is also a book. Its soft padded cover opens to reveal cloth pages that relate the story of Ariel’s adventures as she struggles to become human and win her Prince.
What We Thought
Marrying a cloth book with a fluffy pillow is a great idea, and it’s surprising that no one came up with it before in this particular form. The pillow is a wonderful way for Little Mermaid fans to relive Ariel’s story and then drift straight to sleep without worrying about putting away a pesky hardcover. The cloth pages are lavishly illustrated in color, with pictures and text on each page. The pillows also come in smaller versions.
Why They’ll Want It
Any Little Mermaid fan will sleep easier with this storybook pillow. It will help fantasy-oriented little girls transition to fashion- and room-décor-conscious tweens. Little girls will love to be able to share the story at sleepovers, too. It would make a surprising and much appreciated gift for any Little Mermaid fan. — Alison Marek 12/11/06

 Name: Agon: The Mysterious Codex (PC Version)
Company: VIVA MEDIA
Age: 10 and up
Price: Not Specified
Category: General Games
What Is It?
Our hero, Professor Hunt, is on a mission to find mysterious lost board games and mark his path with a strange stone to show the way for others. The quest for the truth will lead players to surprising discoveries, challenging puzzles and amazing characters. In three thrilling episodes, the quest for Agon takes players from London ´s British Museum, north to the Polar Regions and south to Madagascar.
What We Thought
Agon is one of the cleverest and exiting adventure videogames I have ever played. Exploring the Museum building in search of clues and hints begins the game and foreshadows the excitement of the coming adventure. Players must “borrow” keys from a sleeping guard, comb through old books for clues, and translate messages from Morse code. The 3-D graphics in this game are amazing. It was a lot of fun for my 10-year-old daughter and me to work together to unfold the clues and link them in order to get to the next level.
Why They’ll Want It
Agon is a great game to play together with your children, as you help each other solve the series of mysteries. Players will need to take notes, write down key combinations, and keep track of some important clues. The more you progress, more you will be willing to play. Supreme graphics and sound effects will take players to different parts of the world and make them feel the thrill of adventure. Even though my daughter doesn’t speak English and lives an ocean away, with my guidance she is still able to play and progress to the next exciting level. — Alex Sormaz and Alison Marek, 12/11/06
