	Best Selling #1 Jakks Pacific Toymax Telestory Console W/ Dora Cartridge Young readers (and readers-in-waiting) will enjoy supplementing their regular storytime with the TeleStory Console. This simple system allows kids to insert a Dora the Explorer cartridge (other story cartridges are sold separately) into the console (which Mom or Dad has plugged into the TV), and start following along as the story is read aloud. Or, for more advanced readers, switch the mode to enable the child to read the story herself! She can even ask for help with "trouble words." Readers can interact with Dora and her pals on the TV screen and the "pages" of the console. Four action buttons activate visual animations and sounds on the screen, while the Page Forward and Page Backward arrow buttons move the action forward or enable readers to have a page re-read. A scroll wheel can be used to highlight trouble words. And if your little reader spends a lot of time out and about, no TV in sight, you can use headphones (sold separately) to hear the story read aloud from start to finish. The chunky little console is just the right size and weight for small hands. Requires four "AA" batteries (not included).--Emilie Coulter $12.99 Usually ships in 24 hours
	Best Selling #2 Jakks Pacific Road Champs Fly Wheels - Radio Control Power Claw (Monster Truck) The monster truck concept has accelerated to new levels with the Fly Wheels Power Claw. The vehicle-to-front-wheel size ratio on this monster truck is so fantastically imbalanced, it's entertainment enough just to look at it. Luckily, the Power Claw is not just a pretty face. Rev up the remote control and set this thing in motion! Whether the claws are in or out, the massive wheels will take the vehicle wherever it wants to go, provided the carpet pile or driveway gravel are not too high. Push the two controls up or down, together or separately, to make the truck go forward, backward, left, or right. Pop out the claws (which are imbedded in the tires) when you need extra traction on rougher terrain. When the vehicle encounters an obstacle it can't power over, it simply flips over and continues on using the tiny rear wheels on the other side. (Note: the controls are now reversed, too, which can be confusing, especially when the truck flips often.) Educational value? Nada. Fun quotient? Plenty. Requires four "AA" and one "9 volt" battery (not included).--Emilie Coulter $12.99 Usually ships in 24 hours
	Best Selling #3 Jakks VMIGO Console with Dog - Handheld Most dogs, even notoriously friendly ones like Golden Retrievers, don't take too kindly to being dressed up in silly outfits. And then there's the shedding and smell factors of dog ownership, not to mention the risks to allergic family members. So what's an animal lover to do? Get a virtual Golden Retriever, of course! This particular fellow from Vmigo is full of energy and will love playing catch, the Sniffing Game, Disc Duel, or going on adventures. He'll do tricks for his master, and if you brush him and give him treats and take him out when he needs a potty break, he'll reward you with hours of slavish love. This virtual pup appears on the tiny screen of the Vmigo handheld or, if docked with the TV docking system, on your TV screen. Earn Pet Points by being a good dog owner, and use them toward "buying" supplies necessary to keep your pooch healthy and happy, or even to buy a new dog! Two pop-up menus allow owners to interact with their Golden (feeding, playing, moving him around, etc.). If players have a friend with another Vmigo pet, both users can link together to share the fun. And the docking system allows players to turn the hound loose on the big screen in full color and with vastly enhanced activities in Doggy Town! Requires three "AAA" batteries (included) and four "C" batteries (not included).--Emilie Coulter $49.99 Usually ships in 1-2 business days
