This letter-focused smart toy charmed our testers, who especially liked its song feature. Different letter buttons lead to different songs, like Oh, Susannah and, of course, The Alphabet Song. The 12 x 18 inch toy is designed primarily to teach letters and numbers and has large, brightly colored raised keys. When kids press on these, they'll hear the letter or an associated word. Five activities include letter identification, spelling, and find-the-letter. It can be played with freely or in quiz mode. Speech is clear and the toy is responsive.
