Cook up a storm (or a symphony) with this 11-sound electronic kitchen center. Young chefs will enjoy preparing a gourmet extravaganza at the stove and microwave console, complete with light-up burners and three cooking sounds. When they turn on the faucet to clean up, they"ll hear running water. And they can chat with their friends on the phone, which has four additional sounds and sits in a convenient stove-side bracket when not in use. Altogether there are 15 accessories, including cups, plates, knives and forks, and a frying pan. The main unit is approximately 42 inches high, 38 inches wide, and 18 inches deep and has several shelves and a removable cutting board. The screw-together construction requires adult assembly; four AA batteries (not included) are required for the lights and sound effects. Ah, the sound of onions sizzling in a frying pan--bon appétit! --Richard Farr
