The VTech FLiP is the first real world animated e-reading system designed for kids. Its colorful, features touchscreen technology, and is a fun interactive way for parents and kids to read together. Not only is the FLiP fun it is also made very well and comes in the colors blue and pink for boys and girls.

Kids don’t have to know how to read to enjoy FLiP they can just listen and learn words as the animated stories play. There will be plenty of downloadable fun as well when the FLiP goes live as well as additional animated books to purchase from characters like Shrek, The Little Engine that Could, Dora the Explorer, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and more. Expect the FLiP to retail for $59.99 and be available during the Summer. Pricing is not available yet for the additional titles but also except some cute accessories to make your FLiP even more fun.
