Not so great!
My parent's bought this for my daughter for christmas. In the package it is pretty loud but when you took it out the packaging and pulled the tab it got so quiet that you can barely even hear it. Also about 3 weeks after she got this, the flip part on the phone broke right off!

Absolutely ridiculous!
The fact that the volume is barely audible when you take it out of the package is so ridiculous!!!! Don't waste your time and money!

Total false advertising!
I too bought this phone, and when I took the packaging off, the volume was barely audible! the instructions inside said that was not an error, that is how it is supposed to be. Well then maybe they shouldn't have it so the volume is so loud when it is in the packaging! Obviously, you need the volume up to sell the damn toy, why turn it down? My daughter rarely plays with this phone. I wouldn't recommend it, if not solely for the false advertising!

Agree the volume is too low
We stuck the tab back in and taped it in place so our daughter could hear it. Otherwise, it's a great toy.

Fasle Advertising
There is no indication prior to buying this toy that the volume will be turned down to nothing when it is taken out of the box. I can understand the Fisher Price people's concern for children's hearing but the volume doesn't need to be so low. We were very excited about getting the phone and looked forward to playing with it when we were still able to hear it! ... Read more

Soft and sweet
The only negative to this doll is that the rattle is too heavy for the doll. I took the rattle off and sewed up the hand, now she is the perfect cuddly doll she was intended to be.

A Baby's Baby
My 15 month old received this for her first birthday, but it just became appealing to her. Especially the rattle. I guess because her father and I are so affectionate with her, she does hte same to her dolly. It takes a while for babies to get used to playing with a dolly though

We just love this doll
My little girl got this for christmas and at first she wasn't so sure about it and now she crawls all over the house with it. She teeths on it and she loves the fact the baby has a toy too. It doesn't really bother her that the rattle is heavier she has never once hurt herself. So we have no complaints.

Cute soft doll, but rattle is rather heavy for a light doll
My daughter loves this doll, It's soft, although its face is plastic, however the rattle is rather heavy for a light doll, so its off balance so to speak. You can't sit the doll up, etc because the rattle pulls it over. Haven't had any problems with the rattle coming off though, as another reviewer did.

My Baby Loves This Doll
My baby girl loves her baby doll.She got it when she was 6 months and was insantly attacted to it she falls to sleep sucking the bow and her thumb.My only worry was the heavy rattle Which knocked her up top her head but no damage done.She goes everywhere with this doll so this means I wash it weekly(only after my girl goes to sleep with it).I know the care instructions say to put in pillowcase and wash in machine but I always wash the entire doll in the sink and genlty squeeze most of the water out and put the blow dryer on it till its mostly dry and when the dryed completely I return it to my girl.She has had this doll for 4 months and it is in very good condition considering my cleaning method.Its a great doll for ANY girl to have a doll is a doll.I am purchasing a second one just in case. ...

Great for the imagination
This toy is great for young children's imaginations and creativity. The story book is short and simple, perhaps by too much, but I guess that leaves more room for imaginary play. The pieces seem to be durable and my five year old has no difficulty putting the pieces together. She really enjoys making new animal creations out of them. The pieces are, however, tough for a just-turned-3 year old to put together. She still enjoys playing with the creations once they have been assembled.
Overall, this toy provides a lot of creative fun for kids. ... Read more

Amazon.com

This pink electronic lap-book looks worth the sacrifice of foregoing afternoon cartoons--and it is. The two included storybooks ("Ernie's Neighborhood" and "School Skills") fit inside the book and, thanks to microchip technology, kids can read, count, talk, and sing along with characters using a handy stylus as a pointer. They can stop the story whenever they like to figure out words, phrases and puzzles along the way. Buttons for letters, words, music, and "surprises" are within finger-distance, and so is a full reference of capital and lower-case letters. There are also 60 or more learning activities stored in the book, designed for kids between 3 and 8 years (or up to the 2nd grade). Activities range from simple (spelling, telling time, music) to more complex (problem-solving, comprehension, vocabulary). Required: four AA batteries. Diane Beall ... Read more

Don't waste your money!
I got the PowerTouch Learning System for my 3 years old son. He loved that until the day that he got tired of Elm's book. I went to look for the Dora's book and other books to buy for him. The Dora's is not for sale at any store and there are just few different books avaliable in the market. I got really frustated. I wish I had gotten the Leap frog, they have a way more books which keeps the toy very interesting for the kids. Another problem is that while playing with it, my son eventually touch other parts of the book with another areas of his hand when he points a figure, which make the PowerTouch Learning System starting spelling or reading another word instead of the one that he intended, making him confused at first. Even without touching the book, a closer approach to it, is more than enough to activate. Now I like the idea of the pen in the leap frog. I would never buy this toy again!

An attention getter!
We bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son for Christmas. He loved it and still does. He really does not care about the story too much. He mostly likes the music, counting, and pointing to pictures and it tells what the picture is. Its very durable. The only problem is the cartriages are small, but we try to keep the books and cartriages in a back pack. We bought all the books but he loves Ernie's Neighborhood and Blue's Clues the most. It was definately worth it!

Fisher Price does it again
My daughters got this gift for their second birthday even though the age on it is 3-8. At 2 1/2 they are still too young for it, so I really would go with the age limit on this toy. My 2 complaints with this electronic book is the books that go in the toy come in and out ever easily with is very annoying to my toddlers. I can't imagine at 3 they would be any better with the books though. To me, it seems like the system would work better if the books clipped in a bit better. Also some of the books seem "cheap" in their text. Example: Ernie's Neighborhood plays a song, "who are the people in our neighborhood" based on what the child is pointing at. Ernie sings most of the song and then some other voice chimes in with "police man" or "mail carrier", then Ernie continues to sings. Seems to me they could of spent more $$$ on the books development as well.

What I do like about this system is the fact the girls can use their fingers and not a pen to use the books. Plus the girls really seem to like this toy. I hope FP gets some better books soon.

One of my children's favorites!
We'd considered the Leap Pad for my daughter when she was 2 1/2, but decided to go with this one. For one thing, there's no wand or pen with it; it's all done by touch, which is helpful for little ones who haven't perfected their fine motor skills yet. It's also nice, because a wand or pen can be used as a weapon against siblings or parents! I also checked the durability of the books that come with it, because in addition to my daughter we also have an 18 month old, and he would be pulling on the pages. We've never had a page rip yet; they're very strong. My favorite thing about this product, though, is the fact that it even works without a book inserted! The plastic casing itself has the alphabet on it, so you can push the letters and play even when the insert books have been temporarily misplaced.

My daughter is 3 now, and has played with this nonstop for the last 6 months, and her younger brother (18 months) adores it as well. My children aren't "gifted" or anything; I'd say they're prefectly average, and they're able to work the Power Touch very easily, yet not so easily that they get bored. I highly recommend this product!

Do not recommend
I do not recommend purchasing the Power Touch Learning System because there have been no new books developed that I can see. And, at the back of some of the books it shows a Dora Explorer Book, and an additional Clifford book that are not offered anywhere, my son and I look in every store, I have searched the web and search engines. Basically Fisher-Price is not supporting this system, so I wish I had purchased the Leap Frog system. Although the Leap Pad we had when my son was younger had some problems with the stylus not touching correctly and giving incorrect answers, at least it has plenty of books and support. My son is 4 years old, has done all the Power Touch books and doesn't use it anymore, he's become bored with all the same books, he rather play with his old Leap Pad. And in the stores, you quickly see how much more there is available for the Leap Frog, and I think the stylus is also a great learning tool for practicing holding pencils/pens. Hopefully Fisher-Price will introduce new books soon, and this problem won't be such an issue. ... Read more

Great toy & super buy-My 1 year old daughter loves it
Hi everyone! I just bought this toy for my daughter a couple weeks ago-and I'm so glad I did. My daughter is 16 months and she is soooo into Dora the Explorer-she's thinks she's the coolest chica on 2 feet, next to mommy of course,wink wink. So, I picked this toy up because it seemed to scream to me on the shelf with all of it's pretty colors and lights..and Dora. I was going to save it until xmas but we(meaning I) couldn't resist. The different modes are great so you don't get sick of the same old thing. We can both learn some Spanish and listen to Doras backpack sing, and watch the lights and try to find the objects Dora is looking for in Spanish. Very durable-my daughter stands on it a lot(its her new thing) and it's held up like the best. We both love this toy, I recommend it to all DORA fans!

If your child loves Dora...
My 2 year old daughter loves this toy! We bought it for her last week, and she has played with it every day. There are three modes of play- naming the object in English and Spanish, finding the object, and deductive reasoning (the object is red, there are three of these. I do have two problems with the toy though. I think the taped voice is sometimes difficult to understand, especially for one who is just beginning to understand different words, and the pictures are sometimes difficul to recognize- for example the balloons and the maracas look very similar, and do not accurately represent what these objcts actually look like. ...

Blues Clues and music are a great combination
My 2 year old has been getting very good at identifying her colors, so when I saw this book I thought it would be great for her. She does like this book, not as much as the Sesame Street or the Dora. She does sing along with each frame.
The only problem with this book is that with the lights in the unit they distort the colors a bit when you are looking at the screen, so identifying the colors is not always as easy as it should be. But all in all my daughter is very happy to play with this book.

Not What it Appears
The description of this "book" is very misleading. You need
to have the rest of the toy for it to work. My son received
this as a birthday gift and was very disappointed that it
didn't work. You have buy the unit that it goes in and
then it's some sort of electronic game/book. I have yet
to find the thing I need to buy for it to work. ... Read more

Wonderful dragon
This is just a beautiful, rugged and attractive toy. All of the Imaginext toys have been great, the dragon is a fantastic addition with its chomping jaws and flapping cloth wings. Just great!

"Singe" the ferocious dragon
This red dragon is a medieval dream come true. It's so fully jointed that it crouches forward and rears high on its hind legs. Its forearms, head, and tail can be positioned forward and backward for all sneaky attacks. My children love the mechanics of the wings shooting out fast and wide, and the the surprise of its head lunging forward as the jaws split open. The fanged mouth can pluck up victims and carry them away. The clutching claws hold victims too.
The dragon is bright red, has a scaley texture and cannot look anything but dramatic.
"Singe" fulfills my imagination of what a toy dragon should look and function like, and my children love it. He's very sturdy like most Fisher Price toys, not hard and brittle. My 6 year old son willingly plays with my 4 year old daughter by her agreeing to her Fisher Price Loving Family dolls becoming Singe's occasional victims. ... Read more

Great toy
I just bought this set for my 21 month old daughter and she loves it. She lets the "horsies" eat and drink at the trough and loves the slurping/crunching sounds it makes. She also digs the tractor because it comes apart and she loves anything with wheels that she can push around. She puts her other Little People farm animals in the back and give them a ride around the farm! She also loves the song that plays when you press on the hay and the neighing sound when you open the gate. This toy is great and would make a wonderful addition to your Little People farm! ...

BIG, tough and full featured
Anyone with a young kid who is into Star Wars take note:These 'kiddie' lines of Star Wars toys (Galactic Heroes (small figures) and Jedi Force (larger figures)) are fantastic.

This X-Wing is gigantic,as it fits the larger scale figure.It comes with a slot to fit the excellent R2-D2 and an opening cockpit that will accomodate the Luke X-wing pilot.

The toy also has an extending landing leg, many sounds from the movies AND (the coolest for the little guy) all 4 of the X-wings engines light up in response to a touch from any of the buttons hidden across the ship.

Very rugged, surprisingly large (and a little heavy for the really small ones).A great toy.

Amazon/TRU has this for an excellent price, btw - many stores list the toy at $25-$30. ... Read more
