When I Love Robots.com offered me a chance to review Skylee, I jumped on the chance. I'd first had the opportunity to meet Skylee at the Clever Girls Collective brunch while at BlogHer this year and knew Skylee was something in which my daughter would be interested.
Official Product Description:
Meet SKYLEE, a chatty, interactive toy dragon for kids! This very friendly dragon comes with a very special surprise: an egg that holds a tiny fuzzy dragon baby named Bebe that loves to squeak and play with Skylee all day long!My take?
Skylee flaps her beautiful dragon wings in response to a child's touch and responds with words of excitement to a child's greeting.

Skylee was an immediate hit, as I had suspected. And the little "bebe" that comes in an egg, which rolls out of Skylee's tummy? The icing on the robotic cake. Both kids giggled a storm over that one, then proceeded to stuff the egg back in, so they could make it come out again. Rinse, repeat.
You'd think this would be a girl's toy, but my 6 year old son loves it, too. It's also a tough, good-quality toy -- we've had it for several months now. It's seen plenty of play hours and the batteries are still going strong. I do wish it was a little softer and snugglier, but that's just me. The kids don't really seem to mind.
Anjali's favorite thing to do is to dance with her dragon:

Also, she has renamed the dragon. I hope Lady Gaga is flattered. Ahem.
