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

Wonderful gift!!
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!
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!
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!
