Toys and Games Reviews of Touch & Discover Alphabet Town
Customer Review: My son loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son plays with this first thing in the morning. (Luckily there are two settings for volume) Alphabet Town lights up and 'talks' to him. There are many settings like: clocks, music, simon says, directions, spelling and phonics. I really like the music button. My son likes to dance to the music of all the songs I have sung to him. I find it a good value due the variety of activities. It also fits on his lap and is very portable. I love watching him learn while having fun.Customer Review: deceivingly educational!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Yes, it's cute and yes it lights up, but it's teaching the wrong things. I AM a teacher and the phonics section of the toy is totally wrong! Many of the consonants are mispronounced, adding the "uh" sound to the end. Also, when my son doesn't "perform" to acceptable levels, it boo's him and puts a big X on the screen. I'd much rather hear "try again" a thousand times than that. LeapPad products have accurate phonics and positive reinforecement.Customer Review: Lasted 2 days
Summary: 1 Stars
This was given as a gift to my daughter. It was purchased in the US and mailed to us (Europe), so unfortunately returning it was not an option when, 2 days after Christmas, after being used a few times, for short periods, it died. When it did work, we found it annoyingly loud. Our daughter already had the Fisher Price Power Touch Baby, which we like much better, and - a huge plus - has adjustable volume levels.Customer Review: No one caught this glaring error?????
Summary: 1 Stars
This toy seems like lots of fun until you realize they're mispronouncing the word Library. They say it 'Libery'. Honestly, it seems that someone along the line in developing this toy would have caught this. Our[...]now discusses in length the CORRECT way to say the word and how his TOY says it. And they state that this toy teaches phonics and vocabulary? Not in the English language!Customer Review: I'm taking this back!
Summary: 1 Stars
Another reviewer mentioned "Press a buttons." If that were not bad enough, this toy mispronounces "library" as "liburry." I cannot have my 3-year-old listening to this! If it did not have these terrible grammar/pronunciation problems, this would be a good toy. My son loves it, and it really holds his attention. I am going to have to sneak and take it back. But it's definitely going back.
