When this was adverised on the television, I quickly had to look of information on it. I found out that it is educational and it does take up time. However its a responsibility to take cae of your Pixl Chix Pal in order for her to be happy. I named minie Trixy, I think it only has a 5 letter choice. It's a very good toy for girls, you should get two (when there on sale) and then connect them together!
