This little bilingual wonder makes learning a breeze with music and counting to encourage interest. Squeeze him one time to hear him count from one to ten, then squeeze him again to hear a joyful song about colors. He'll even sing about the objects on his shirt. Cute, cuddly and full of fun learning songs, this adorable 12" tall plush turns on when the right foot is squeezed, and switches from English to Spanish simply with the squeeze of his left foot. It requires 3 "AA" batteries, which are included.

"Hi, I'm Tad." "Hola, soy Tad." Meet Tad, a bilingual frog that helps kids learn counting and colors in English and Spanish. (Press his left foot to switch from English to Spanish.) This cuddly 14-inch plush amphibian is dressed in orange overalls with numbers on the belly, which, when squeezed, make Tad sing catchy little songs. Tad carries a fabric booklet with numbered objects from 1 to 10 corresponding to his songs: "How many buttons, tell me, do you see? One, two." Exposing children to a foreign language early on helps them distinguish the sounds of their own language from another, and leads to a greater ability to learn foreign languages later in life. What a friend. --Emilie Coulter
