TJ Bearytales is a fantastic toy. However he is not really a bear to play with, but more a bear to share with, He tells enchanting stories, sings and interacts with each child.

T.J. Bearytales has fully animated mouth, eyes, ears and nose! His arms even gesture as he tells the story! His first story, My Big Birthday Surprise, is already programmed in to him.

He could easily be described as an educational toy, in the way he teaches reading and key concepts ready for school. He also teaches morals and life skills though his adventure stories.
Each additional pack contains a cartridge with a new story to listen as well as the reading book of the story which TJ Bearytales tells; some even have additional items such as a click and flash camera for TJ Bearytales to hold in his paw during his safari adventure where he meets lots of wild and exciting animals.

Sometimes TJ Bearytales sings a song during his stories which children of all ages will love to join in with, you could even use him in a nursery school as part of a quiet time activity.
TJ Bearytales is a storytelling friend children will get to know, he's not a toy that will go out of fashion, or one that a child will tire of, as he has lots of stories to tell and songs to sing. He is a gift that can be added to with new cartridge packs.

TJ Bearytales can be enjoyed throughout the day, and especially at bedtime, setting the mood for quiet, reflective time and winding down time prior to bed.

New cartridges are easily inserted into TJ Bearytales backpack, where there is additional storage for further cartridges.
TJ Bearytales and additional cartridges can be purchased in a wide range of high street and online stores, but my advice would always be to shop around for the best price.

We purchased TJ Bearytales as a Christmas present last year, and he is still sat in the living room, ready to burst into life at any given moment…
