Fairy Tales Take Along Storyteller: Interactive Electronic Music Player/Reader with 11 follow-along books (Children's Interactive Story and Song Carry Along Player With Books)

My just turned three year old has always been very much into books and would sit and be read to for hours if she had it her way. So I wanted to have an electronic read aloud device for her. I was not impressed with the stories on the typical cheaper readers (i.e. the Disney princess and Mickey Mouse ones). The stories are basic and bare bones. If your child is used to reading longer, more well written and detailed stories, those would be a snore. I went with this reader because the stories seemed to be longer and more advanced. I was right - this is perfect for her. The stories are just the right length (done in 4-5 minutes I would say). My daughter takes a while to get the hang of certain electronic toys and this one she figured out very quickly. It is very intuitive and simple to use, and makes a pleasant chime sound when it is time to turn the page. There is an option to do songs and my daughter loves playing these and dancing around. The sound quality can actually be quite loud if you want it. And it is very clear. My only criticisms would be 1) I wish the stories would be read a tad bit slower and 2) I wish the illustrations were more interesting and detailed but these are small factors. Overall this is a GREAT set for kids. I read somewhere that it is for ages 2-5. A two year old would probably be too little to really enjoy this; I would say this is probably ideal for ages 3-6.

Gave as a baby shower gift. Soon to be mother requested a book instead of a card. She loved it.

My son loves it. Sometimes he just listens to the songs or stories without the books. Its easy to use and keeps him entertained for a long time. Its a good alternative to smartphones and tablets. It's also helpful for anyone learning to read. Its useful before bed or in the car, and when you want your child to take a break from the tv for awhile. I only wish the volume was a little louder.

We like these a lot, we also have the DNiel Tiger series. My son likes the stories. The reason I rate it a 4 is that I wish the images were bigger. For example on the 3 little pigs the images are just so small. I believe my son would have more fun if the pictures were bigger.I get it though, they are putting a lot of text in a small book…. But it seems for a Children’s series the pictures would be larger.We love it though in general and my 4 year old son is still wry much engaged with the readers.

Such a great way for kids to listen to songs and stories! Our three year old daughter likes to take this in the car. She sings and dances with the songs at home. She likes reading the books each night. Do wish there were more pictures in the books. But she still enjoys them.

Easy to use for toddler.

We bought this as a Christmas gift for our one and a half year old who is a little over two years now and she has been playing with it every since. She now sings along with the songs and has been good at following along in the books for the past few months. Great gift for a child who loves reading, music and story time. She occasionally will turn her reader on as background noise when I am busy cooking dinner or doing chores while she plays with other toys.

My kids love this reading and go along on the books. It was a really big hit in my family. My kids are five and two years old
