This is the device that enhances a child's reading experience by playing back a story in the familiar voice of a caregiver. A parent or grandparent records passages--even entire bedtime stories--using a pen-shaped voice recorder synchronized to a series of easy-peel stickers that attach to a book's pages. Each of the 600 included stickers is encoded with a unique pattern of dots (similar to a bar code) and each is associated with a voice recording stored on the pen's built-in memory. A child simply points the pen at stickers placed throughout a book to hear recordings. Forty stickers with pre-recorded sound effects, including a laughing baby, meowing cat, ringing phone, ticking clock, fire engine, and more are included. Requires two AAA batteries. Ages 3 and up. 6 1/2" L x 1 1/2" Diam. (3 3/4 oz.)
