First of all, we're glad to see that no wild claims are made by the makers of this pleasant baby toy that plays four classical tunes including Peter and the Wolf, The Nutcracker, Water Music and Piano Sonata in C Major K. In other words, it doesn't promise that exposure to the clear digital renditions of these classical tunes will make your baby smarter, etc. That said, our test babies are enjoying this plush, round, pillow-like toy with a flower face top. The classical music plays while kids pull on the flower nose, chew on the plastic part and watch the light at the tips of each petal. Though babies' actions don't always seem connected to the toy's behavior, they are likely to enjoy the music, lights and touchables. The price seems a bit on the high side, however.
