Great Toy!
By C. Moncrief
My 9 month old daughter loves this show! She claps and dances to the music and is just fascinated with it. We have collected all of the characters for her - she loves to pull them apart and then stick them back together. They are great learning tools ... we use them to point out letters, the sounds they make, the sounds they make when they come together and then the word itself! A great association tool. And they can take quite the beating from her as well!

The one thing I will add is that we found them much cheaper at our Target and they are sold individually. So I don't know why they are so expensive through the 3rd party.

My baby can read!!!!! - added: beware of the cheap one !
By Fru Fru
updated last minute:
My brother just called me to ask if I can give his baby the dog that I have because their dog have fallen apart and they are devastated. They got it from someone who bought it from Target or Wallmart at 9 something and it was the cheap version that came in this orange/green packaging and they were so happy they got it and now they are desperate to replace it. I saw their other dog and it did not felt or looked like the first adition at all. My first edition dog came with dvd and it is solid. It is so well built that he was amazed when he compared them. So yes, there is cheaper version out there sometimes but beware!!! I don't think you want to risk toy taht might dissintegrate on your baby. Go look for the real mccoy. companies nowdays substitute and economize to save and make cheaper toys but the outcome is not that great. They have similar lookig product but the durability and quality is lost. I don't recommend the cheap dog. Look for the one that comes in white packaging with DVD - check auctions and other places as it is not sold in stores anymore, they changed the model to cheaper one. The white first edition packaging was retailing in toy stores for 50.00 plus at the time. I found one jsut a second ago and bidding on it so if you really look you can find it, but it is hard really hard. I don't want to part with our set as this is lovely memories but I will get a new dog for my brother's baby or else - till then they are using our doggie as baby missed it so much, but I wanna my baby doggie back badly :) end of update.

HUGE TIP: beware of sellers who remove the dog from packaging and sell it as is without packaging as you might be buyig the cheap one instead of deluxe version first edition. So check with your seller ask questions which dog are they selling if it is without the box, I had to learn it the hard way.

HUGE TIP NUMBE 2: how to tell apart if you are dealing with the dog from new cheaper edition or the original deluxe series in the white box if it comes without a box? Easy.. the new cheap dog has his head on the G, the classic first edition good one has his head on D! easy to spot difference.

It is just amazing how quickly my baby learned letter recognition and puting words together in order thanks to these animals.
The whole family was amazed how those little hands could put togehter the dog, cat, zebra, cow, etc.. all animals in the set
together in a snap.

We started with the dog as it is her faforite animal, obviously - like most kids :) and then we gradually were adding on
animals untill we ended up with the whole set before we knew it. It is so rewording to see your tinny treasure to
be able to do words!!! that it is jsut breath taking.

We did not need any foring techinques, flash cards or anything, she was just grasping the concept from my taking apart
the animal, sounding the letters and puting them together back for her few times and then she got it like
in the same day and from that day on she knew.

I think this should be every paretnt's every baby first educational toy. It is so baby friendly, perfect for the sens of touch,
soft and cozy - what actually is said to develop brain faster.
It is sucha pleasing design and there are places to chew on if you need ha ha ha..
We take the animals everyhwere we go and she does not only have fun she is reinforcing her reading skills and preparing
for future writing without knowing it!

We were lucky to get the animals that were issued in those white boxed packaging with DVD inside. Not the other version in
the orangy cheaper packaging and without DVD. Difference is really apparent. I got the animals as a gift to my niece
but I could not find anywhere the first edition in white packaging with bluish background and DVd included in the box
so Igot the other set on e by and apparently they are not the same. Similar and all but the quality is not the same.
The original edition animals are more plumpy, solid, and have better and more baby friendly feel and touch to them
whereas the other - not the white box- edition has cheaper feel to it.

Overall we are very very pleased with the set. I have heard that this design got so many rewards and it is so popular among parents
and I totally agree with the notion. It is great for the baby and it teaches something useful for life unlike so many toys
that do nothing. It is good to see your baby having so much fun and stay engaged for good while with them.
It is amazing how long attention span the baby has while playing with the animals.

As she grows I marvel how she can put together the simple words from different animals for fun.. as in she would take
different letters from different animals and still spell the word dog or cat or cow correctly and giggles
that each letters is from different animal.. like for instance she will take L from the lion with the head,
then put i from the fish and then o from the dog and n from the lion again and she is so proud to do that.
It shows me that she is not only putting animal together, she is actually aware of the letters..
and to prove it she can take just the letters without heads and not color coded and at random
pull the letters and put together a word that is independent of characters..

soooooo cooooooooool

I am shopping for the original set now to get it for Christmas for two beloved babies in the family
and they are so hard to find, yet I won't stop till I find them. This is THE gift of learning and
I wont' settle for less :)
