Rrp £39.99 so for £4.99 looks like a good stocking filler (£12.74 on Amazon). Gets good reviews on Amazon, and comes with one book.
Works with any book with pictures in it. Bought it for my daughter to record her own voice as she reads books, as she'll probably (hopefully) think it's great when the machine reads them back to her in her own voice.
Sparkup the Magical Book Reader
Sparkup the Magical Book Reader is an innovative gadget that encourages kids to fall in love with reading and their books. You, grandma, or anyone else can record your voice reading any picture book with Sparkup attached.
Your child then takes that book and turns the pages as Sparkup reads aloud in your voice. If your child skips a couple of pages ahead, then Sparkup skips ahead too! Sparkup makes reading fun and interactive for the entire family.
Connect Sparkup to your computer to save recordings, download stories, and more.

I got this today in North Shields, and they had three left. Hard to spot though, on the bottom shelf near the kids books.

I got this for my 7 year old daughters birthday the other day, she absolutely loves it, she's been recording herself reading all her books and her older brother has recorded some so when he goes back to boarding school she can listen to them.
