My niece is two and loves this toy. She plays for hours at a time and likes to mimic the sounds. I always buy educational toys and feel that Leapfrog has toys for all ages and children learn as they play. How can you beat that? If you want your child to be entertained and learn at the same time BUY THIS TOY!

My 3 year old loves this toy. We bring this in the car or to the restaurant for my son to play with. Since he got it for Christmas, he has finally started to learn phonics which I had previously tried teaching him using flashcards. Like the other posters have mentioned, this toy’s music doesn’t drive me crazy. It’s easier on the nerves than most. The toy has many features including a game in which children are either given the letter name or the sound and asked to locate the corresponding letter. It keeps score so you can monitor progress. The music option lets them play the alphabet song providing they hit the letter keys in order from left to right (like reading). Great toy! I would have rated it 6 stars had that been possible. We’ve had lots of electronic toys, but this has been mine and my son’s favourite. LeapFrog toys are superior.

I like this toy a lot but I was surprised when my son pushed the “z” and the pronunciation was “zed”. Apparently, “zed” is used in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most other places that speak English. However, I don’t think that a lot of people in the U.S. realize this. We have many LeapFrog toys and this is the first that doesn’t use “zee”. This is definitely a worthwhile toy but we do have a child with a learning disability and I don’t want him to get confused by the discrepancy.
There is also another helpful review (by Marissa) dated the same day as I am writing this – maybe we both just got the Canadian version of the toy, but I would have preferred the U.S. version if there is one.

On the alphabet song on this toy, it says w, x, y, and ZED. I don’t really know why, but other than that minor bug, we like the toy.

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas and have really enjoyed watching her play with it. She sings the alphabet song along with it, which is a treat for me. My 5 year old nephew who is a special needs child also loves this toy, and loves the Letter Sounds mode. It has been dropped down a flight of stairs already and is still working perfectly. The option to turn the sound down is also great. Anyone who has kids knows that the most annoying thing is to hear a toy all the time, and when this is turned down it is definately manageable, and not nearly as distracting.
