3.0 out of 5 stars Sound quality is poor, but otherwise nice, October 1, 2004

My son loves this and enjoys the realistic animal noises. The pictures are attractively and realistically painted. There is a good selection of farm animals.

Drawbacks:

- the sound quality is very poor. It sounds tinny and distorted.

- the sounds are activated by a light sensor, which is covered when the puzzle piece is replaced. Unfortunately, this means they will also sound when the lights are turned off unless the pieces are in place. It has scared the bejeesus out of me when I've turned off the light in his room.

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Farm Sound Puzzle (Toy)

We bought this puzzle for our daughter, who loves farm animals. The sounds are great, and the quality high, but there's one problem. The sensors in each piece's slot that cause the sounds to be made are way too sensitive. We found that turning off the lights (in either the room the puzzle was in, or an adjacent room) would set off one of the sensors, and a "mooo" would inevitably be heard. You have to cover up the entire puzzle (a heavy floor pillow works) to avoid this. I don't know why they didn't make the sensors mechanical - otherwise this is a great puzzle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great customer service!!!, June 29, 2006

My parents had purchased this puzzle at a children's boutique a few hours from home. We discovered once it was open that the sounds did not work. I was disapointed because there was no chance that we would drive back to return it. Instead I called the 1-800 Melissa and Doug number and described the issue to the person on the phone. They were very nice and appologized for the problem. They shipped us a new puzzle at no cost. Great Customer Service!!! The new puzzle works great and my 18 month old loves it. She has learned all the sounds and it really keeps her entertained better than a "regular" puzzle.
