Look for the first wave of plush in this multi-tiered display.
Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock Collection for the Little Tikes Story Dream Machine includes 3 stories and 1 character that adds light effects in nightlight mode.
The Story Dream Machine develops beginning reading skills as children see and hear words and can read along with the narrator as the words and images shine brightly on the wall. Kids will be delighted as they watch colorful lights and listen to sound effects.
Based on the description and photo is seems like The Story Dream Machine is updated version of the talking View Master.
