1. A child'"'"'s toy comprising:
- a toy figure representing a child'"'"'s playfellow, said toy figure including a first contact switch located in a first predefined area of a rump of said toy figure positioned to contact a child'"'"'s knee when said toy figure is bounced on a child'"'"'s knee during play simulation, said contact switch being actuated each time said first predefined rump area is contacted by the child'"'"'s knee during said play simulation;
a sound generator for storing a sequence of sound elements that, when sequentially generated, form a sound recitation, said sound generator being connected to said first contact switch for producing a sound clement of said sequence of sound elements in response to actuation of said first contact switch during said play simulation, said first contact switch causing said sound generator to produce a first sound element of said sequence of sound elements when said first contact switch is first actuated, and wherein upon each subsequent actuation of said first contact switch, said first contact switch causes said sound generator to produce a subsequent sequential sound element of said sequence of sound elements thereby generating said sound recitation upon repeated actuation of said contact switch during said play simulation of bouncing said toy figure on a child'"'"'s knee, whereby a child playing with said toy figure is entertained by said sound recitation by repeatedly bouncing said toy figure on a knee during said simulated play.

Abstract
A bear or baby doll that laughs or sings a nursery song when bounced or dandled is disclosed. A particular area on the rump of the doll is pressure sensitive and produces the given sound when a pressure level is detected in that particular area that is within a range of pressure levels produced when the doll'"'"'s rump contacts the child'"'"'s knee in a gentle bounce. Tapping one of the bear'"'"'s knees selects a respective song and controls the sound generator'"'"'s mode of operation.
