AMAZON has slashed the price of one of its tablets ahead of Black Friday next week.
The Amazon Fire Kids Edition tablet is down from £100 to just £54.99, meaning it's almost half price.
The gizmo includes a protective case and parental controls to stop tots reading things they shouldn't.
Amazon's sale tablet comes with 16GB of storage and a 7in display.
Larger versions of the tablet, with 8in and 10in HD displays, are also on sale for the next seven days.
They're each around a third off, putting them at £84.99 and £134.99 respectively.

The sales last until the end of Black Friday, which this year falls on November 29.
They'll only be available while stocks last, so we suggest jumping on this one sooner rather than later.
So what's good about this particular tablet?
The Fire 7 Kids Edition is designed specifically for children, which is why it comes with a thick, rubberised "kid-proof" case – available in bright blue, pink and yellow colour options.
Better still, Amazon includes a two-year "worry-free" guarantee. That means if you break it – even by accident – then it'll be replaced without charge.
Importantly, the tablet has decent hardware chops as well.
You get a large 7-inch display, 16GB of built-in storage, and the promise of a generous 8-hour battery life.
Amazon also chucks in a year's free Fire for Kids Unlimited membership.
