Kids (and adults) are completely captivated. This is a gift you can give with confidence...it's a quality, unique gift, its priced right,and it can easily be shipped anywhere. It's recommended for kids from 4-8 but kids younger can certainly enjoy this book. Price: about $12.95, available at Amazon and most bookstores.

"Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots": Who will be the champion - Red Rocker or Blue Bomber? Even after 40 years, this toy from Mattel is still going strong! Rated for ages 6+, two players use the controllers to keep on sockin' each other until one head gets knocked loose and pops up! Lots of fun, plenty of giggles, and a great game for young siblings! Price: about $22, available at most toy stores.

Wooden Pogo Stick: For over 150 years, pogo sticks just like this one have been popular with active kids! Offered by Back to Basics Toys, this all-wood to is bound to be a classic. Recommended for ages 8+, this is a unique toy. It supports jumpers from 80-160 lbs. and includes replaceable non-slip rubber tip. About $40.
