4.0 out of 5 stars Good Idea, January 3, 2007

By	L. Taylor "Retta" (Illinois, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The thought behind this book is a good idea and my granddaughter does play with it. My only complaint is that the books do not "catch" into the reader and keep falling out since she is still too little to understand to hold the reader straight.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Idea but didn't work, September 17, 2007

By	Gabby Simmons - See all my reviews

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this product twice because I really wanted to have it for my baby. Each time the reader was faulty. When I would turn the pages, it either sensed nothing, or it sensed the incorrect page (sometimes from a different book altogether), and never read correctly. I was very disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Idea, Bad Product, December 19, 2007

By	Crystal Carter "NavyWife" (Everett, Wa United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I purchased this (and all the extra books) for my daughters 1st birthday. It never worked quite right from the beginning. It wouldn't read the book or would read the wrong book. It would also skip, almost like a cd would since it was having a hard time sensing the book. The books fell out easily and the reading unit itself would come apart at the "hinge". We tried changing the batteries and that didn't help, so after lots of frustration we went back to the store and exchanged it. It worked better at first, but now we are having the same problems we had before. I gave up. My daughter is almost 3 now and still loves books. She enjoys being able to "read" a book without mommy, but gets upset because it rarely works. Its a good idea, but it just doesn't work. Don't waste your money on this.
