I bought this for my 12 month old daughter. She likes to spin the wheel without even pushing the big yellow button mostly because she hasn't figured out yet that she has to push it pretty hard to get it to work. She likes it because it makes noise and sounds. It's not her favorite toy but she does play with it now and then. My biggest complaint about it is that some of the animals chosen to represent the letters are odd. For example there is bird for the letter "U" that I've never heard of in my life and I'm not even sure what the voice is saying ... "Umbrella bird" maybe? Also, the sounds that go with each animal can sometimes be random and really not have anything to do with the animal and sometimes it's just the narrator making the sound rather than having the actual animal sound. It's not a bad toy but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else for their child.Best Deals for LeapFrog AlphaZoo Spinner
This toy does what it says it's going to do and has two modes of play and my daughter loves to push the big button and get sounds. However...the reason this is not getting a 5 star is due to some of the choices this company made.The one mode recites the alphabet and that's ok. The other mode gives the name of an animal and it's sound. This is where it gets ridiculous. Some of the complaints I have is that instead of coming up with unique animals there are many renditions of birds on this. There's like five bird ones. In an effort to have them all say something different, the sound the child is taught that it makes is musical notes. The iguana apparently plays the xylophone. The yak says, "Mooo," which every other toy teaches as the sound for a cow. For N, the animal is a narwal, which makes splashing sounds. Some of these sounds are very hard for children to repeat back and it doesn't actually teach the child the actual sounds the animals make. I get that it's challenging to come up with a unique animal that corresponds to A-Z, but in my opinion, some of these choices were a fail.
I'd get it if you want your child to be entertained by song and noises, but not to teach your child animal noises. Also if you're child might easily become confused, I'd go to a see-and-say that may have fewer choices but has better ones.
