This was a gift for my 13 month old daughter. From the very beginning I was having problems with it recognizing the books and turning of the pages. The on/off button is the only light and that was distracting to my little girl. She kept turning the toy on and off. I'd hear the song begin to start and then Bye! Bye! over and over. Had to press very hard with the little bee to make it respond. If I had a hard time pushing down with the bee then it was impossible for my little one to get it to work. It's a waste of money and space because it's so big. I have her full attention when I read a book to her myself. Stick with the good old fashion way of learning. I can spend this valuable time with my daughter reading to her myself than trying to make this toy work properly.

This review is from: Vtech - Touch & Teach Busy Books (Toy)

My son received this toy for his 1st birthday, which was 6 months ago. He didn't really start playing with it until probably 4 months ago.
You have to use the "magic bee" to "point" to things in the book, and he couldn't do it yet. Please be aware that you CANNOT just touch things with your finger for it to work, you must use the "magic bee". The "magic bee" is on a little cord that is connected to the book, and it's still hard for him to get it to reach to where he wants sometimes. I will say that it is a relatively fun toy that he'll play with for a little while, but now it has stopped recognizing when we turn the page, so it says the wrong things. I will also warn that the song that it plays when turned on is very annoying! It comes with 4 different books, and my son only really enjoyed 2 of them because they made different noises instead of just saying a shape or color. I called the company for a replacement since it has already stopped working and they wanted me to pay for the shipping of the toy to them so I didn't go for it. It's not that great! He loves to play with his LeapPad which is similar, but you can use your finger and there are many more options with that toy.
