Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was so excited about this item since my 5 yr old daughter lives away from me. Ordered it for Valentine's Day but unfortunately will return. First, it's a book that has 5 spreads (or pages). Yes, only 5! I'm saying spread=page because that's how it is designed. There's a picture that extends through both pages of the spread and one short sentence (yes just one) on each. There's no story or anything. It just talks about how the dolphin misses the sea, how the eagle misses flying, in one short sentence! That's the 'story' you're buying, be aware of that and do not expect anything like Snowwhite or Hansel & Gretel. (OK, I've been advised enough times that what may be a 'huge hit' for kids may not appeal to adults, but thought I should let you know). The real disappointment though, is that the technology does not work, period! I had read some nagative reviews before ordering it. Thought they were the exception because disappointed customers are more likely to write feedback. I had hoped that mine should work fine. Turned out the negative reviews were right on the mark. The book cannot even play the prerecording right. It got stuck in the eagles page. I was hoping it would read the other pages (dolphins, bears) but no. The eagle sentence kept repeating on every page I turned next. I tried doing my own recording, hoping it might correct the situation. Nope! It keeps recording the last statement I read over what I recorded before. So beginning on p. 4 you keep hearing the ending. Tried over and over. Their technology simply doesn't work. Don't recommend this product at all. Waste of your time and money. Now I have to scramble for another gift since I have less time left.
