5.0 out of 5 stars Educational and fun toy, August 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: LeapFrog Learning Friends™ Phonics Busź Vehicle (Toy)

I just purchased this toy for my 22 month old son who is not talking very much yet in hopes that this will help encourage him to talk. My son loves it. In two days, he started saying some of the sounds that the letters make that he previously hasn't said. He hasn't started saying any of the words yet but he is paying alot of attention to them. He also likes the songs that this toy plays. One of the songs says touch your nose, touch your toes and my son follows along touching his nose and toes. He already knew how to do this but it's really cute to watch him play along. It assures me that he is paying attention and may encourage him to start saying the words since he is already starting to say the sounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good Leap Frog toy..., December 10, 2005

My son received this from his grandmother for his first birthday. I had noticed this toy online before he received it and it had never really impressed me but now that I see my son playing with it I see what a well thought out toy it is. My son likes to push buttons right now so he really gets into pushing the alphabet buttons around the bus. This is only his second Leap Frog toy so he has not had an overexposure to the different songs and phrases from the toys yet so I still gave this five stars. I can understand the previous reviewers comments on all the toys having the same songs so you might want to consider that if your child already has several Leap Frog products.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my grandson Liam. It is such a cute toy. Its a bus with a carry handle and 3 of the leapfrog characters in it which are removable. The letters of the alphabet are all around the middle of the bus. You push the letter to hear either a song or something that begins with that letter. The wheels roll so that your baby can "drive" his bus to. A really cute toy with easy learning involved--I'm really glad I bought this---as usual Leapfrog has exceptional toys and very durable.
