Hooked-On Phonics Touch Screen Learner

Looking for a portable educational toy about the size of a Nintendo Game Boy? Try the $35 Hooked on Phonics Touch Screen Learner, a game system with an interactive LCD screen that's controlled using the attached stylus. Designed for ages 4 to 7, the set includes 14 games that will educate your child in three areas: letter names and sounds, spelling, and rhyming. Bonus games are unlocked as more points are scored, so it should hold your child's interest long enough for your headache to go away, or at least until the three AA batteries run out.
