THE ADVENTURES OF ZYLIE THE BEAR REVIEW

I was sent Zylie the Bear and Shen (Zylie Panda Friend) to review. My daughter Brielle fell in love with both of them right away. Zylie and her friend Shen are the stars of a brand new line of dressable fashion bears. Not only do these furry friends wear the lastest in fashion, but they are world travellers, as well. Each 18" bear comes dressed in an outfit appropriate for the destination they travel to, in the accompanying book.

Zylie and Shen have their own personal designer. All of the apperal for these fuzzy fashionistas, is designed especially for them, by Katie Fong. In addition to the outfit that comes with each bear, there are additional complete ensembles available.

The books that come with each bear are not just fun travel stories, they also attempt to immerse children in the culture and history of the destination. the books are also touch on topics such as, language, currency and native wildlife.

Zylie even has her own interactive website. The site is designed to allow children to follow along with the storyline and experiences right along with Zylie. The ability for children to submit their own stories, design outfits and determine where Zylie travels next are in the works. Learning based games about subjects such as, history, geography, math and science and language are also in development.
