We bought this for our son when he was 10 months old. We have had it for just over a month now. He is, of course, a little young for this toy. However, he loves the songs it plays for each letter and will "dance" and shake his head to the music. He has figured out how to turn the pages of the book, which makes a very cute rustling noise when he does it. The buttons light up, which attract his attention, but he only pushes them on accicdent. He is still too young for the game function. What I love about this, and it is why we bought it in the first place, is that it teaches phonics in addition to the letter. Each letter has a corresponding song which is sung when the button for that letter is pushed. The say the name of the letter, then use the letter is several words to demonstrate how that letter can sound. The songs are short and catchy, some are in female voices, others in male voices. Like all Leap Frog toys, there is a volume control and on/off switch.I am sure that my son will get more and more use out of this toy as he grows. He already enjoys to play with it, and will sit for 5 minutes or so. For a one year old, I think that is great!I admit the I am hesitant to say good things about toys with batteries or toys that have kids push buttons to, "learn," but my 2 1/2 year old daughter does love this toy and seems eager to learn from it. She got it a year ago and it was a little over her head until she was about two years old. I think it will continue to keep her interest for at least another six months.
