Editorial Review

Here's a learning toy that offers kids a wonderful, interactive introduction to the world of letters, sounds, and colors. Alphabet Pal features several ways to play--pull the string and, antennae flashing, the jolly green caterpillar rolls happily along singing the alphabet song. When one of the caterpillar's 26 multicolored alphabet legs is pressed, kids hear the name of that color, letter, or letter sound depending on which mode they choose. Best of all, Alphabet Pal is a parent's friend, too--it's not too loud and turns off by itself when idle. It comes with three demonstration batteries, which should be replaced with regular AA batteries. Made of durable plastic, the toy is 7 by 11.5 inches long. --Marianne Painter

5.0 out of 5 stars Leapfrog a HIT but BEWARE of Antenna!!!!, December 6, 2001

This is a very reasonable priced educational toy. My daughter adores this toy! She has mastered her alphabet and colors. We are now discovering visual letter understanding. HOWEVER dropping the toy just once causes the antenna to FALL OFF into small circular pieces and CAUSES A HAZARD!! After AlphaBug had broke one antenna I broke the other off JUST IN CASE.

This review is from: LeapFrog Alphabet Palź Caterpillar (Colors May Vary) (Baby Product)

MY SON RECEIVED THIS IS A GIFT WHEN HE WAS ONLY 12 MONTHS OLD AND LAUGHED WITH IT A LOT. HE IS NOW 2 AND SINGING HIS ABC'S ALONG WITH IT. THIS TOY HAS BEEN THROUGH THE TEST OF TIME AND HAS LASTED. HIS 1 YEAR OLD SISTER ENJOYS IT TOO. IN ADDITION TO SINGING ABC'S IT SAYS THE COLOR OF THE LEG TOUCHED TEACHING COLORS AND LETTER SOUNDS. ANOTHER GREAT FEATURE IS THAT IT COMES WITH IS VOLUME CONTROL AND HAS HIGH QUALITY SOUNDS. I HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS TOY. I'VE SEEN OTHER TOYS THAT COST TWICE AS MUCH THAT DO NOT THRILL A CHILD LIKE THIS ONE.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful toy but be gentle!, December 11, 2001

This review is from: LeapFrog Alphabet Palź Caterpillar (Colors May Vary) (Baby Product)

This is a wonderful toy as far as educational value is concerned. The buttons/legs teach colors, letters and letter sounds. And pulling the string causes the bug to sing the ABC's, which is very cute. But beware, it is *very* fragile. The leg buttons stopped working after 2 months and I called leap frog who promptly sent another which broke within 6 months. My daughter hasn't been rough with this toy, though it does spend time in the toybox. I sure wish it still worked, it was a lot of fun for her... but Leap Frog's warranty is only 90 days and I'm afraid to take a chance buying another. I hope you have more luck than we did.
