Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this for my son right after his first birthday. The piano function worked great to keep him distracted while I shopped in the store. He loved making the little bear dance around while he played music. He laughed and laughed. I decided to go ahead and buy it, and I'm glad I did. He is now 17 months old, and plays with this thing more than any other toy. He really pays attention to the animation when he presses a letter. He says all the letters back to it. He even is saying the words back to it as well. For example, when you hit the "A" button, the animation says "A, Apple", and spells out the word APPLE on the screen and shows a bear eating an apple. He can recognize and read the word apple now, along with other words, and I'm pretty sure a lot of the credit goes to this toy. He also likes to play the "planting fun" game where it counts out each number you press. The best thing about this is that it will be something he can learn and play with for years. It teaches the alphabet, numbers (1-10), spelling, counting, math, and reading. It also has some interactive games where it asks you a question and you choose the answer. I definitely would recommend for a 1st or 2nd birthday/Christmas present.
