Record A Song Books

See also Record A Story Books. Further stretching the definition of "ebook" the Record A Song Books are hard cover songbooks that let children record their own singing voices by way of an embedded microphone. Each book comes loaded with pre-recorded songs, which can be listened to by opening the book and pressing one of the seven buttons on the panel to the right of the text. The buttons match up with icons next to each set of song lyrics on the pages. At the bottom of the button panel is a switch to toggle between the pre-recorded song mode (indicated by musical notes) and the record-it-yourself mode (indicated by rec). When you switch to record, your child hears a simple background melody that they can sing along to, karaoke style. Songs can be recorded and re-recorded. Titles include: Old MacDonald and Other Animal Songs; Thomas & Friends Sing-Along; Christmas Songs; Dora the Explorer Superstar Sing-Along; and Mickey's Christmas Songs. The books' recording function operates on three AAA batteries, included, and recordings are not erased when batteries are replaced.
