Meet the future of preschool instruction -- Lionel T. Lion. Lionel is a soft and cuddly animatronic character that is so real, he's almost alive. He brings each lesson in the form of a song. Each new song has its own set of actions -- programmed to move Lionel specifically for that song -- recorded on a CD that you play from a personal CD player. So, unlike singing toys that you may have seen in the past, Lionel isn't limited to one or two partial songs -- he can sing a different song every time! (CLICK HERE to hear .mp3 samples.) And unlike larger robots that can come with price tags of $5,000 and more (without character programming, either), Lionel is well within reach of even the most modest budgets. NOTE: We have found that some personal CD players do not provide enough volume for Lionel's movements to be triggered properly. However, the Durabrand Model CD-566 (available at Walmart) seems to provide the most reliable audio levels. If you have trouble with your Lionel, we recommend purchasing and using one of these units.
