My daughter received this for her first birthday and just loves it. She is not one to just sit in a lap but when my husband gets home from work, she goes and picks it up and brings it to him so they can sit in the chair and play farmer says. She loves to point at the animals and thinks the music is great. No problems pulling the lever (also great fun). The toy has been dropped many a time and my daughter also thinks it is great fun to stand on it, No problems to speak of.

I have to agree with the other review - what's with the bunny going "boing boing"? That's ridiculous. And my son also had trouble pulling the handle for a while.

I admit though, my son likes this toy and it is kinda nice to have two different sides so there are more animals. However, I really wish there was a way to turn off the quiz function. Or if the quiz section was only on one side. This toy appeals to a lot of children who are too young to get the quiz thing, and it's a little disruptive when they get into the groove of learning about animal sounds (even the made-up ones) and all of a sudden the thing is asking them questions. And you either have to fix it by pointing the arrow to the correct animal yourself, or wait until it turns itself off. I mean, I'm sure it's a nice feature for kids who are big enough to understand how to do it, but I just really would rather not deal with it sometimes.

I bought this because my mom was desperate for the classic version that I played with as a kid. This isn't it. The toy is smaller and the handle is so stiff my 15 month old gets pissed trying to make it talk. Also, in the interest of cramming more animals in there are 'sounds' that are non-sense like the bunny who goes 'boing' are you kidding me? Use your cash to buy something GOOD for the baby in your life.

Great product ... grandkids love it! This is a step-up model from the one that we had with the older grands. This is a two-page one with more animals and more songs! Well worth the money!!!

This is a fun toy; however it is VERY VERY loud. We put scotch tape over the speaker and that worked well.

I thought this would be like the old See & Says from the '80's. My main complaint is the sound goes so fast, you can barely make out what they are saying.

This is a nice toy, and I like the fact that the animal sounds are all realistic. The couple of drawbacks there are include 1) when the lever is pulled down, the sound of it and the arrow turning are a bit loud and you almost can't hear anything until the animal sound and 2) the lever is a bit difficult for my son to figure out (he's used to pressing buttons on most of his other toys) and he's a pretty bright 18 month-old. Hopefully he'll figure it out soon. Seems sturdy and definitely worth the cost.

I was excited about this toy since I had one when I was little. However the pull on the toy is very hard, even for an 18 month old to pull down. You must pull the leaver all the way down to get it to work. Even if you pull it 90% down it will turn but will not make any noise. A 3 year old can easily pull it down but did not seem to interested in playing with it. So overall I don't know if I would buy this toy again because at the age our kids were interested in it, it was too hard to work and by the time they can work it they aren't really interested in it.

This is not the same old "The Farmer Says" from my youth. This machine is much smaller than the one I had as a child. I call it a "machine" because it's battery run now. My daughter prefers to stand on it more then anything, but she does enjoy the sounds.
I give credit where credit is due though; there are twice as many animal sounds as before, a couple of songs (Old MacDonald Had A Farm and the Farmer in the Dell), and even a quiz function.
All in all, not a bad toy, but not what it used to be. You can't even spin it like back in the old days and make it speak slow or fast! That was half the fun!

My daughter got this as a gift. At first I thought it was a great idea because at 16 months she's starting to learn the names of animals and sounds they make but after some use I most likely wouldn't buy this toy.

First problem I have with it is that the animal sounds are hard to make out. You have to listen very carefully. Then they're almost too real in a way that a child can't repeat. So it's not helping her, educationally.

Lastly, the lever is a little lard to pull all the way down so she can never do it herself and always needs me to pull it whereas her other toys she's able to play on her own.

I'm not impressed with this toy at all.
