When a new Hallmark Interactive Story Buddy turned up at the door for Brooke, she was very very excited! Brooke already has a Watson Story Buddy that she totally adores, you can read about here: http://www.blogbybaby.com/2011/10/hallmark-story-buddy-review-watson.html
But this gorgeous new Story Buddy is very girly and the perfect companion for little girls everywhere. Abigail is a high quality super soft plush toy which has gorgeous detail. With her little outfit and the little bows in her hair, she is just perfect.
If you are not familar with Story Buddy’s then I shall explain what makes them such a hit in our house. The Story Buddy reads along with your child. Here is a video demo of Brooke with Abigail:
Basically all you do is turn Abigail on via a simple push button, which Brooke is perfectly able to do alone. You then read the story and at certain intervals Abigail responds to the words your child is saying.
Abigail is a brilliant addition to the Story Buddy family, and Brooke is totally smitten with her. It is a great way to encourage children to read, it certainly gets Brooke reading lots!
There is three books that you can read with Abigail, and ‘Abigail and The Balance Beam’ book is included with Abigail for the very reasonable price of £19.99 available from Hallmark.co.uk http://www.hallmark.co.uk/Abigail-Storybook-and-Storybuddy.aspx extra books are available for £5.99 and Brooke is already saving her pocket money for ‘Abigail and The Tea Party’!
