My year old grandson loves this! This is my second Leap Frog purchase and I am sold. Will be sure to buy more. Even for kids that know the alphabet already, it's so much fun to spin and hear the sounds they create for the various animals. Who knew what an inchworm sounds like! Fun and eduational, different sounds depending on what you set it on...highly recommend!

My 6 month old son loves this toy because he can make it spin himself. When he was learning to sit up, this toy was a big help because we could sit in right in front of him and he could reach it without toppling over. He also could play with it during tummy time. There are 3 different settings and the songs are catchy, not annoying although they do tend to get stuck in your head. The high/low volume option in a nice feature too. Our baby is so proud of himself every time he makes it work. I love how easily and smooth it spins. It does tend to tip over easily, and I frequently have to sit it back up to the correct position. Some of the animal sounds are a little odd and I wish it had more lights, but overall a great toy.

It's really a cute toy. Bought it for my friend's kids for their birthday and I believe they like it. The animal sounds are kind of strange, but its still cute and very educational. Would buy again if needed!

For example, whales don't actually sing whale songs. The sound a whale makes is a splash. Lions don't roar; they say, in a very perky female voice, 'rar!'. Kangaroos and rabbits sound like springs sproinging. Jellyfish sound like bubbles in water. I can't even figure out what the zebra noise is supposed to be. I get that coming up with a sound for jellyfish might be hard, so why'd they choose jellyfish? And for horses that say 'neigh!' and lions that say 'rar!', why not use vaguely realistic sounds instead of the same vocalist who sings the little song that plays while the wheel is spinning? They managed to get a 'bzzz' sound for the bees that's enough to make me reach for bug spray, so it's not that the whole concept is foreign. And god forbid your child gets tired of this toy and wants to move to some other entertainment. This device will make a sound after 15 seconds of sitting idle, so your child can't be lured away by quieter toys like building blocks or books.

My sister left this at my house when my nephew was 6 months old. He loved to play with it & when they went home the little girl I baby-sat would play with it too, she was much younger than he was at the time & she had a lot more time to play with it. Now, both of them are 2+ years old, the thing still works & my 6 month old niece is coming for a visit... I'm certain she'll have fun with it too. Durable toy & kids like it, I think they might be too young to get any educational benefit from it while it's fun for them to play with & then by the time they're learning more it isn't fun anymore. For $14, it's worth it.
