for the computer savvy kid
this is fun, fun, fun. The toy itself is soft and cuddly enough to sleep with. The computer access to a world of games is wonderfully interactive. There are outfits and accessories to "buy" but you must "earn" the points by becoming better at the games and playing them often is the key to "success"(video style)
I am happy with the lessons this is teaching my granddaughter and she is happy playing. The games are simple and easy to master while still fun and rewarding. Amazon has a great price on this toy...the best we found and we looked hard as it was HER money being spent(and saved)

adorable vip
My 8 year old daughter loves this VIP kitten. It's a great introduction to going on the computer and exploring the keyboard and mouse. Very cute.

Coolest Littlest Pet Shop EVER!
My six year old daughter got this as a gift from me. She is a stuffed animal fanatic and loved the cat and how soft it is. Once I explained the whole online play thing she was really excited. Setting everything up was easy and she was playing in minutes. Online she loves to play the games and travel to each of the different areas. You win little coins when you play the games and you can use them to shop for your pet. She loves winning the coins and then buying furniture and clothes for her cat. It is really an adorable cat and idea. While the subscription online is only for a year I will be willing to renew or buy a new pet. It is so much fun for her.

13yo daughter has enjoyed this.
Allows you to get additional money, house, items, web areas on the Little Pet Shop website. 13yo daughter would prefer website newsletter to be updated more often and says the VIP status only lasts one year. FYI: our family is very conservative, not very worldly - 'today's' 13yo's may be interested in other things than Little Pet Shop.

This cat is a hit!!!!
My 6-year-old daughter loves the littlest pet shop toys and this is by far her most favorite item. She gets to go online and play in a virtual world with her pet. There are different games and activities you have access to when you have the special code for the VIP. When she is not playing online with her pet, she is carrying it everywhere with her. I recommend this toy if your child likes to play games on the computer and enjoys the littlest pet shop line of toys.
