All in all, the Dream Puppy offers a more realistic experience, which can be a plus for kids who love dogs. When the pet is upset or cranky, my son tries to come up with solutions to make it happy—from hugging to feeding it to waving and being silly. The Munchin' Rex (Blue Version) pet's a handful, all right - unpredictable, huggable, and oh-so-loveable!

My children, 2 and 5 years old, were instantly drawn to the furReal pet—it’s often the first toy they reach for in the morning.The Munchin Rex (Blue Version) is a baby dino pet with personality that responds with more than 35 sound-and-motion combinations.

With sensors on her head and mouth, she responds to being petted, waved at, and fed (chomps on her treats -- or acts like she wants to spit them out! If you little ones love the FurReal line of pets they’re sure to love the newest instalment – a broccoli eating dinosaur! The furReal Munchin’ Rex is a plush toy, but unlike other (regular) plush toys, it’s designed to be played with—not just to display and cuddle. He even made a game out of trying to guess whether the dinosaur is cranky or happy—so we all appreciate the fun and interactive unpredictability that it offers.It seems expensive, but it’s actually comparable to other similar toys, and considering the entertainment that it can provide to children, I think it’s worth it. That said, the boost of excitement that comes with the dinosaur’s responses wears off pretty quickly and is just not enough to hold kids’ interest—especially older ones (6 and up).
