Very cute, good picture, light weight and durable. The sound is good too. The kids like it so I like it.

This is a very good toy for learning, especially for energetic 4 year olds. I bought this for my grandson and he stays with playing through each of the modes.

I purchased this toy for my then 3year-old son (after a moderate amount of comparison and deliberation with similar toys) with the simple goal to help him learn the sounds of the letters better. We've been disappointed with toys that pretend to be adult "toys" but that just don't seem to fool him or make him want to play with them for more then a day or two. So I was skeptical and had low expectations of how well it would entertain him. And to be honest, he barely touched it for the first month he owned it (it was a Christmas present though so he was busy playing with new trains, vehicles, building blocks, and such). Then one day, (because of it's size: it fit in my purse) it went on a doctor's visit with us. And that was it.
I took the time to show him what buttons did what and how to bring up different functions (he remembered a couple) and he has loved the toy ever since. He likes to keep it in the car now and he plays with it almost every day when we're all driving home from work/daycare (which can be a pretty cranky time for him so yay!). He'll also play with it in the morning when he wakes up on the weekends if we put it by the bed after he falls asleep and give us a little extra time before we have to get up.
Educationally, I like this toy as much as he likes it for being fun. He is delayed with his language so I like that it helps him with his letter sounds while playing. We sometimes expand on it and make up our own silly combinations... well, we do but he laughs at them and repeats them, which is the important part. As he gets older, he'll be able to contribute too and we'll be able to really make a game of it. I like that as he gets older and understands more, there will be new functions he'll be able to use on this toy (like the game mode) so it will continue to help him learn and be fun for him for a long time. As a parent, I love toys that have a long play life!
So far this toy has been pretty durable. It has been dropped on concrete and had a 35 lb child stand on it several times without any damage. In general I have been happy with the quality of Leapfrog products and this one is no exception. It is a great toy, both for children and parents.

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old now 3, we travel alot and this keeps him still while he gets a haircut as well. Also, going through security at the airport was easy and it is small enough to put into his carryon backpack and loud enough for him to hear and not others who is sitting close on an airplane. There are animated pictures when you press the alphabets in upper case and lower case, 2 games and one button that sings a little song to teach you about the weekdays, good for an hour and if you play with child a few hours without getting bored, but once my 3 year old has mastered this game, he only plays with it from time to time.
A million percent recommend!!! April 12, 2010

Im going to thank this toy for teaching my son his ABC's and in a week! He is very hyper activity and hates group activities or activities where hes expected to sit and focus or participate. So its been a struggle teaching him much. I got him this game on a whim and it was a huge hit. He loved the games, when he thought Scout was texting him, all the cute little animated graphics. I really didnt think he would like it because its not big and it doesnt have colorful animations, but he has to have this toy with him for about 90% of the day and its the only toy I dont mind him carrying everywhere with him. He can actually point out every letter of the alphabet now and not just in the game, in everyday situations. If we go out to eat he loves to read the letters on the menu now! Im definitely looking into the other leapfrog toys as well now.
