"Aside from being a plush, Glow Pets are ideal for bedtime, especially around the holidays when schedules are disrupted and wreak havoc on nighttime routines," said Jason Biziak, Vice President, Ontel Products Corporation. "And, Glow Pets also make great travel companions, not only during the season but throughout the entire year."

Children will find Glow Pets hard to part with as these super-soft cuddly companions are perfect for playtime, story time or anytime. When the button on a pet's paw is pressed, the pet emits a soft light to help ease children to sleep. Each pet contains a special LED light that creates a glow without producing heat, and a built-in timer that automatically shuts off after 20 minutes. Children can simply secure the pet's tummy with the attached strap to create a plush animal, and pull the strap to release the pet into pillow form.

"Every child has a favorite bedtime toy, but what's wonderful about Glow Pets is they are so much more than just another stuffed animal," said Laurie Schacht, Toy Insider Mom. "Glow Pets serve multiple functions - as a nightlight, pillow and friend making them the perfect addition to a child's bedroom, particularly for those kids who have trouble sleeping."

Glow Pets are recommended for ages 3 and up. MSRP: $29.99. Choose from 10 pets including Beaming Bear, Glow Snail, Dazzling Zebra, Glow Turtle, Sparkling Unicorn, Glow Lightning Bug, Glow Monkey, Brilliant Pup, Flashy Penguin and Shimmering Seal. Available now at www.glowpets.com and major retailers nationwide.
