Dear Parent, VTech®, with the introduction of our V.SMILE POCKET™, offers parents a fun, healthy alternative to the world of hand-held video games. We know that children enjoy the “big kid” feeling that comes with owning one’s very own hand-held system, and we also understand parents’ reluctance to put these toys into their children’s hands.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the VTech® V.SMILE POCKET™! This unique handheld video game device was created especially for young players.
