I bought this for my then 15-month-old daughter. She gets no thrill out of it whatsoever and it is one of those toys that has been tossed to the side. The blocks don't really 'lock' in place so that you can see what animal noise, etc. is being said, so it can be confusing for a child who is learning the new sounds and letters. The only good thing is that it sings the ABCs... but I could do that myself and could have saved myself $12.99.
