If your child has a tough time hearing the alarm clock, the Thomas Alarm Clock may be the ideal solution. An adorable version of a quaint old-fashioned alarm clock, he has a sturdy bright-blue metal body with two bells and a hammer on top. When the alarm sounds, the hammer vibrates between the bells, making a racket that will rouse the most reluctant of sleepyheads. And there's no snooze button! On the clock face, a train track encircles Thomas, who smiles a cheery "Good morning!" Big, bold numbers, black and yellow hour and minute hands, and a bright red second hand make it easy for a beginner to track time's progress. A dancing cloud near Thomas' right headlamp keeps pace with the rhythm of the second hand and adds a jaunty bit of whimsy. Stands almost 7 inches tall. Requires one AA battery (not included).
