We are big fans of the Little People sets in my home.They are durable, easy to clean, easy for little hands to hold and great for imaginative play. We have the Animal Sounds Zoo and this train complements it perfectly. This would be a good piece to introduce your little one to this series. The train comes in three pieces which attach and detach easily, although my daughter (she just turned 1) is only able to take them apart. A song is played when an animal is pushed down. What makes this piece one of their best is the movement of the pieces when the train is pushed around. The giraffe spins in a circle, two other animals are able to tetter- totter and the parrot swings back and forth on his perch . The movements are what delight my daughter most with this toy. She is a bit clumsy with it still and doesn't fit the pieces in quite right but it is one of the few toys she doesn't become aggravated with. She continues to try to fit them different ways. We have a few other sets and since the pieces are interchangeable she has a blast putting different figurines into the spaces. She prefers to play with one section of the train at a time but enjoys it immensly when we put on a small show and pull it all together. It has been carried everywhere and tossed everywhere. My daughter even likes the animals to keep her company in the bath.It is cleaned easily and the colors aren't fading off as with some toys we own. I love it because it encourages her to think and be imaginative. This toy is perfect for either boys and girls and is sure to be a hit with any one year old as well as their parents.

ever since the age of about 9 months my daughter now 1 has been captivated by the fisher price little people. They have provided her hours of pure enjoyment the look on her face when she plays with them is priceless. I think that they should change the recomended age though because I have found that alot of children my daughters age and younger really have taken a liking to these adorable folks. And I find them to be totally safe for younger childrens none of the parts really pose any sort of hazard in my opinion. Well the jist of this review is We LOVE the little people.

Especially helpful if you have the zoo and the other little people toys. We like to line up our zoo, petting zoo, and then drive the zoo train in front of it all. The animals are interchangeable (kind of. The tiger is sort of standing like you do on the push-bar style rail cars), and the giraffe spins round and round, which is fun.
I like the fat figures, which are easier for chubby fingers to grab. It's funny how even my 16 month old holds the Little People by their hands or arms instead of by their heads. They readily recognize the people as being people. It's a good thing. My kids and I play; just play. But sometimes we talk about the animals' names and the sounds they make.
The train is a great addition to your existing pieces. I'm not sure how much fun it would be without the other pieces (like the zoo), but it's a sturdy, brightly colored little toy with cute animals, a nice tune (that doesn't turn off until it's done...), and an overall nice look.

I bought this toy for my 18mo old son and he loves it! The music it plays is fun to listen to, and is loud enough to hear, but thankfully not loud enough to blast out all over the room. the trains detach as well, making it fun to play with one or all.

My daughters 1 & 4 love this toy and all Little People products. Great for role play and even better with the Fisher Price Zoo. The main reason I'm writing however is to praise Fisher Price. I broke the battery compartment on this toy while installing new batteries (I overtightened the screw and the cover and part of the train cracked). I fully expected to pay for a replacement part, but instead Fisher Price said they would send me a new train. This company's customer service is just as outstanding as its products.

Our daughter received the train as a gift for her second birthday. She really enjoys driving it around her room with the animals moving up and down, and twirling around. Actually she usually takes the animals out and put some of her LP children in the train.

This train is a great little toy and makes a nice gift that is not too expensive. The only thin that FP could do to improve the train is make the pegs for the animals a little narrower. It is a tight squeeze to get the character on the see-saw pegs, but it is a minor inconvenience.

Otherwise this toy is absolutely great!

My son got this as a gift for xmas just before his first birthday and he is still playing with it. It is very durable and he loves to take it apart and play with each animal. It took him a while to figure out how to get the train cars to stay together - and it seemed liked the first/front car almost came off the rest when he was pulling it up non-flat surfaces. He has tons of toys and still always seems to pick this one up at least each day and play with it for a while. definitely recommend it for a boy or girl!

I bought this for my 1 1/2 year old. She is now 3 and still playing with it. Even my five year old loves this toy.

My son loves the Little People figures, and this train is cute with the "Talk to the Animals" tune. He's had this since he was 1, now he's almost 2, and it's still not that fun for him because the train segments fall apart really easily so it doesn't keep his attention that long. And, it's hard to keep all the pieces together.

I'd recommend the Noah's ark instead - that one he LOVES. And the School bus as well. These are more solid toys, IMO.

I bought this for my 2 year little girl for her Birthday. It is one of her favorite toys. She plays with it everyday. This is the first toy I have heard her role play with. The animals are easy to put on and off. She also uses it with all of her other little people. My 4 year old twin boys also play with it almost as much as her!
