I bought this as a birthday present for my two year old son. It ended up being the toy he played with (and abandoned all the rest) on his birthday. He plays the alphabet song over and over. Surprisingly my nearly 4 year old loves it too, but she plays with it differently. She uses the function where one of the character says a word and then she has to press which letter the word starts with. I was delighted to hear her repeating the words, sounding them out and then selecting the correct starting letter. Great educational toy. They have lots of fun driving it around as a bus too. Only drawback so far is that it is very loud and there is no volume control (other than the off switch).

This toy is one of the most used in our house. I have 3 kids age 4, 2, 1. The 4 yr old loves to use the "what letter does the word ____ start with" mode (they are doing that in preschool too). My 2 yr old loves the "find the letter _ " mode. My 1 yr old just loves to dance while it sings the alphabet (with the push of the red stopsign button). We'll have it out for years!

This review is from: Fisher-Price Sesame Street Elmo'S Alphabet Bus (Toy)

My kids (1 and 3) love this toy! There are games you can play (Ernie asks to find the letter that begins the word _____), or you can press each letter to hear it's sound. There is also a button to hear Elmo sing the alphabet, which definitely helped my kids learn their letters. With the wheels, the kids can "drive" the bus around the house.
Drawbacks - no volume control. After a while, my son repeatedly presses the "song" button, so Elmo gets stuck yelling "A, B, A, A, A, A" and it gets somewhat annoying. It also takes a while to turn off - the characters each say good bye and see you again next time, so when we're done with play time the good bye sequence is so cheerful and loud my son thinks it's play time again.
Overall, still a fun learning toy.
