Kids love to go bug-hunting, but the Spark Talking Bug Identifier ($19.95) takes junior entymology to a whole new level. Simply pinpoint your sample in the magnifier to view it 2X actual size, and answer a series of "yes" or "no" questions to identify the bug you've found. (It even sounds a warning when you've found a potentially dangerous specimen.) And while the handle also generates 400 trivia questions and facts about the insect world, grown-ups can use the accompanying "Lab Assistant" guide to stay sharp for the inevitable follow-up questions. Available at Amazon.
