This may have it’s place but it is not as a “radio”. I mistaken purchased this thinking it had 30 “songs” on it, what it actually has is 30 different pictures on little half moon discs that you flip to see different pictures and if you press the button next to the picture it plays a “tune and sings” for a few seconds about the picture. We also noticed that it only has a couple different tunes and just changes the word for the picture. It has a sippy cup with white in it and one with orange in it the tune just plays and says milk or juice depending on the color etc. The round ball in the center draws attention but when it’s touched or bummed even lightly by accident it changes from english to spanish/spanish to english. This is meant to teach children words but some of the pictures I didn’t even know what they were like the pajamas. I feel calling it a radio with 30 different songs is misleading we sent it back and will keep looking for a “radio” that plays childrens songs.

An instant favorite (but what isn’t when it comes to new toys!). The “pages” are easy to turn and facilitate the child’s learning to interact with the toy while matching push buttons to the associated item with english/spanish translations. The responses are fun and entertaining. We have several Leap Frog toys and most are a good value educationally and economically.

Our 14-month-old son LOVES this toy. He can’t get enough of turning pages, and this has several plastic pages that not only turn, but make interesting musical trills when they do. The little buttons on the side he loves to push, and when the description of the object on the page is in song form, he’ll dance along. And he loves adjusting the volume, too.
My only two complaints: not enough music to really call this a “radio” (I was hoping for mostly music, as our son loves music) and some of the songs are the same, down to the point where you can hear where the new word is inserted into the same musical track. Seems a bit cheap not to record a new version of the song!
However, the fact that this is very durable and has lots of pages to turn makes this still a GREAT toy. And I’m learning Spanish every time he plays with it in Spanish mode, too!

My daughter really enjoys music and songs. This little radio has a short song for every image (an english and spanish version). We love that it’s bilingual, since she is learning English and Spanish from us. My daughter loves being independent, so the fact that she knows that she can work it herself it a big plus.

Received as a gift when my daughter was 10 months old. At that point, the only button she could push easily was the large center one–the English/Spanish switch. Now, at 12 months, she can press all of the buttons. She likes to dance to the songs the toy plays. She giggles and chatters along with the spoken clips. The toy seems to be strong, and we’re still using the first set of batteries. Overall, a great toy. I would like to see the buttons resized to make the language switcher slightly less prominent than the others.
