This talking baby doll starts out in newborn mode, making infant sounds and speaking simple words like Mama and Dada. Over time, as your child talks to her, her vocabulary expands and the quality of her voice becomes less baby-like. She makes requests (read to me, sing me a song, feed me) and even imitates and repeats words that are spoken to her. The more talk she hears, the faster her knowledge appears to grow, a featur...Read more

During a swing, that hinge enables the bat's upper portion to accelerate, enhancing the strike force to the ball relative to the ...Read more

Even more remarkable than the transformation is the fact that the i...Read more
