When the "doll mummy" talks to Baby Annabell, she turns her head to the left or the right depending on where the voice is coming from. She babbles, gurgles and sucks on her dummy. When she drinks from the water-filled bottle she makes sucking sounds. Once she has finished drinking, she burps and falls asleep. If she is awakened by noise, she cries - and real tears roll down her cheeks - but singing soon hushes her. The new Baby Annabell’s increased capacity to interact with her "doll mummy" will help girl’s fluency, confidence and growing sense of responsibility.

My Little Baby Born (13") looks just like her big sister. She has fixed eyes and is precious to look at and huggable to hold. She comes with a pacifier, a bottle and a rattle. She can be taken in the water and she air-dries quickly. She is also suitable for machine dryers.

Talking 19”  CHOU CHOU says the cutest things — in two languages: English and Spanish. When she is given her bottle or her favorite toy, when her bib is put on or her cheek stroked, she responds by saying the cutest toddler-like phrases. She has a soft cuddly body and a realistic look and feel characteristic of all CHOU CHOU dolls. In addition, she interacts with her Interactive Changing Bag, Interactive Carrying Sling and Interactive Bed — each sold separately. Talking CHOU CHOU requires 3AA batteries (not included) and is available in various ethnic versions.
