Lizzie is a soft, stuffed cloth doll who speaks several basic phrases or sentences, first in English and then in Spanish, when her hands are pressed. Her pleasant, childlike voice--powered by three AA batteries (included)--introduces herself and her dog, says the days of the week, and names her favorite animals. Lizzie also says "I love you" in English and Spanish when the red heart on her leg is pressed. She is dressed in a purple satin miniskirt, red velour attached shoes, a denim vest, and a yellow shirt, and she comes with a pink velour shoulder bag with her brown (nonremovable) dog peeking out. Lizzie has embroidered facial features, soft velour skin with pink cheeks, and crinkly black yarn hair with a red satin ribbon. She's a sweet way to introduce young children to another language, and would be a thoughtful present for a bilingual child. --Marcie Bovetz, mother and former children's librarianPrice: $34.99
