"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."
"Pros: -Features letters, counting, number order and matching (but of course, my favorite feature is the ability to change the screen color, I know weird right??). -Has a great mental break feature, piano playing. -Buttons are easy to push, making it a strong sturdy item that will seemingly last a long time. -LOUD! Children tend to forget this all the time which wastes a lot of batteries. Minor Cons: -Wish there was a way to change the brightness...even without the color background it can be a bit difficult to see."
"I wish this one was out before the orange one with less buttons we bought a year ago!"
"It a great learning tool but not good for just sensory and fun."
"A 18 month old will only hit at it and lose interest, my 3 year old will press the letters and numbers in a learning way, but doesn't play the games, a 2 year old I watch pressed all the buttons and didn't play the games, my 5 year old is fully engaged and actually learning."
"My daughter loves this toy!"
"I would recommend this product to someone looking for a learning tablet."

SIZE: I think it is smaller than the online product pictures make it seem. The basketball hoop is springy and the net is soft pliable plastic-- perfect for baby dunks. When a ball is kicked into the goal net, it congratulates and cheers. I posted about 7 pictures that show various parts of the toy and a size comparison."
"As an educator that works with child development I can tell you this is excellent and research based to help children learn. One more thing to mention, is that the device actually "counts" goals scored/baskets made when done consecutively and gives praise to the child. This is a powerful way to reinforce the positive behavior as well as give exposure to numbers and counting concepts."
"We're still keeping it around because she likes to through the balls in the hoop and kick goals."
"my grandson is 14months old and does get the soccer part but he loves the basketball."

"I also love that it has storage for the chalk and I got a sponge at the dollar store that A uses to clean it with."
"Great learning tool."
"This is truly a toy that a child can "grow into" our 2 year old loves to sit and watch the lights and listen to the music on music mode. On activity mode, there is much more interaction required from the child."

"I like that it has an off switch to the music so I don't have to listen to it all day but it's nice to turn it on when they want it."
"My son has had this for a year now and he loves it he rides it all the time it's held up very well it actually still has the batteries it came with minus a few blocks but that's what happens when you have a 2 year old but he absolutely loves it he really does."
"He loves to flip the pages on the book on the side and push the blocks through the top and watch them shoot out of the back."
"Awesome learning toy and ride for babies I recommend this for any baby learning to walk."
"Very clever train for toddlers to about 3 years old."
"The little alphabet squares can be put in at the top of the train and it shoots out to the back. Every single person who's gotten it loved it and I always get compliments and thanks for referring me to this great product."
"I Never write reviews but I am just so disappointed in this toy, especially with how much it cost and the room it takes up for it to be such a waste."

"The volume can be turned fairly low so it doesn't interrupt many people walk out and about."
"He likes books - he likes flipping through the pages, chewing on them, etc. He likes to destroy books), but he does like to flip the pages of this book back and forth."
"Whenever he plays with it I sing the songs too, I think he will be singing them with me before long."
"As an English professor, I know well the endless benefits of teaching children--& yes, even babies--to love books & reading."
"My only complaint is that it continues to make noise for a minute or so after you stop playing with it which gets annoying."
"great songs and such but my toddler doesn't seem to love it- would be better if you could play each song on command, you have to turn the pages and then wait for the 2nd song to come on and my little one has no patience for that."
"All the kids wanted to play with this book and left the other toys on the floor unattended."

"I review my products because I base my purchase decisions on reviews and there is nothing worse than getting something other than what you expected based on the reviews you read, so I’ll always try to give the facts about the product first followed by my personal opinion."
"I really hope that more people write when they're disappointed than satisfied, because the bad reviews are shocking to me. I do want to try the one with the electronic Scout screen next, only because it has a moving picture vs the paper pictures on this one so it may hold her attention even more."
"Probably good for the stroller if you got a carrying case for it to attach otherwise it will end up on that ground a lot ."
"It's small and light enough for little hands to grab, and it's got both a touch screen and some raised buttons for variety of sensory response. The bub is currently 14 months old and she's at the moment attracted to the red flashing lights that come on when she presses the touch screen."
"The reason I gave it 3 stars is because after having it for about a month it has stopped being touch screen, and only the physical buttons work consistently."
"We've had it since she was younger and thought that maybe she would develop an interest in it, but I just ended up putting in a donation bin."
"Cheap."
