Read With Me Scout is a playful toy pup that reads & asks questions. It's an interactive get ready-to-read toy that's doggone fun. Scout reads from the five included board books, & engages children by asking questions throughout the story to help build comprehension skills. Scout features 5 interactive spots that respond to your touch. You can pet his back to answer questions; kiss his cheek & hear him say you're his best friend; press his left paw to hear songs; & press his right paw for more responses.
