SAN DIEGO – (October 21, 2009) – The Baby Genius® Pet Care Center, part of the new Baby Genius toy line introduced at Walmart stores nationwide in August 2009, has been selected by Dr. Toy as one of the 100 Best Children’s Products 2009 in the Socially Responsible Products category. The announcement was made by Larry Balaban, CCO of Pacific Entertainment Corporation (PINKSHEETS: PENT), creators of the award-winning Baby Genius brand of musical edu-tainment for infants and toddlers.

All of the toys included in the list of 100 Best Children’s Products 2009 meet Dr. Toy’s high standards for design, durability, price, quality, safety and value. Dr. Toy reminds parents and teachers, “Let’s not forget that ‘play is children’s work’ and should be respected and understood by all adults. We should be thinking: What products or ‘tools for play’ can we obtain to provide wholesome experiences for children and provide plenty of positive play interactions.”

The musical Pet Care Center offers children hours of enjoyment as they take care of Melody, an adorable, cuddly and huggable plush puppy as part of the new Baby Genius toy line. Licensed through The Joester Loria Group, exclusive licensing agent for Baby Genius, master toy partner Battat manufactured the complete line of Baby Genius learning and development toys for pre-schoolers ages 2-5.

There is so much to do for a new puppy – feed her, listen to her heart, trim her nails and giver her lots of cuddles. The excitement begins when a child opens the pet carrier door and hears Melody’s playful theme song. Melody brings happiness into everyone’s lives with her sweet disposition and endless smile. She is an affectionate, constant companion to all the Baby Genius friends. Melody and all the accessories store easily inside. The Baby Genius Pet Care Center is affordably priced at $18.00 MSRP.
