Editorial Review
You know how preschoolers just can't get enough of story time? How there's always a request for one more, and just one more after that? If you're like most parents, you'd 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. Here's 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 they'll 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).

 Wonderful gift!! November 29, 2008

My 4 year old got this for her birthday from her grandparents and absolutely loves it. We love listening to her sing and read along. It is adorable and well worth the money.
One of the best toys on the market! November 27, 2008
Patricia K. Counts (Phoenix, AZ)
I am a grandmother of 8 grandchildren who range in age from 3 months to 8 years old and they all love this toy. My oldest grandaughters are twins. One is autistic and one is not. This toy is not only great for children of various ages, but also perfect for children with various abilities. I have 4 children and I had to make sure that each household had this bear. Tj Bearytales is one of the best toys to come along in a long time. It is a toy they will play with over and over again. This toy will not be tossed to the side after a few hours of play like most of the newer toys. Your children or grandchildren will play with this bear over and over again. I would highly recommend this toy to anyone. The only negative is that Hasbro needs to make more books.
GREAT bear! Better than Ruxpin! November 25, 2008
Jola L. Hodges (McEwen, TN)
I got this for my Grandaughter. I just HAD to get him out of the box and check him out! Based on the Teddy Ruxpin that I got my daughter so many years ago, I just could not believe the difference in TJ compaired to Teddy Ruxpin! Me and my mother both just went "Wow." We just sorta sit there and looked at all the stuff TJ did! I really cant comment on his durability yet as this is a XMas present, so I just hit the middle with that and left 3 stars, he feels about as durable as the TR bear and he still works after 20 years and MANY hours of reading and rough handling. TJ is on the heavy side, but no heavier than TR, actually, I would say they weigh about the same. I truly think my Grandaughter will LOVE TJ! I would not hesitate at the present to recommend this bear at ALL!
Very Entertaining November 11, 2008
Caitlin Carroll (Southern Arizona)
My daughter is only 5 months old and she has sat and listened to T.J. tell stories contently for the past 2 months. I can only imagine how much she will love him once she actually knows what he's saying! His stories are very entertaining and promote a positive imagination. I recommend the Hasbro Playskool T.J. Bearytales - Scaredy Bear of the Dark! cartridge to go with it because of the cool flashlight that actually glows!

The liitle boy(8 years old) we bought TJ for has cerebal palsy. It is one of the only toys that he absolutley loves and can calm him down. We have bought a total of 13 TJ's and we have had 2 replaced and we sent 4 back to playskool that were replaced with a different toy. Thanks so much for having TJ for us to buy.
Thanks,
Miranda Allison
