A Children's Laptop from the 90s that teaches BASIC?

Question

When I was little, I had a children's version of a laptop (you know - the 40-50 dollar things that only had a few games), and it had a program that taught you BASIC (the programming language).  However, I tried looking all over the internet for it, but I cannot find it.  Did anyone else have this "computer"?  Has anyone even heard of it?

Thanks!

If I am right the reason you could
 not find this particular  "laptop"
was because it came out a couple
 of years before the 90's

" Pre - Computer 1000 "

V- Tech
circa- 1988

A computer geek's dream for kids wanting
 to know more about computer tech than
 just simple math and word processing, this
 laptop was the first and few {if not only} 
children's computer that taught ACTUAL BASIC ....

This laptop would be
 taken into the 90's 
with a talking version ...

and a "junior" version ...
