Product Description The Bilingual Talking Videophone allows children to communicate through language by introducing it to the sounds of the spoken language. When baby plays with the Videophone, they will see - via the video screen - where it is, what baby is seeing and what is happening.The toy also features eight different situations that baby can create itself by changing the figures on the screen: baby first hears the name of the images that it sees and then, if it presses the red button, baby can listen to stories told by the video phone. Requires 2 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 6" x 11" x 11".

Customer Reviews Mixed feelings May 14, 2007 Diane F. (Los Angeles, CA) 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
The biggest complaint I have about this product, for me, is that my child is only 20 months and I am trying to teach him numbers and words, in English, which is our first and native language. Unfortunately, because both language buttons are so big and pronounced, he keeps hitting the Spanish button and half the time the toy is speaking in Spanish. I wish the buttons were smaller and underneath the toy (like the sound button), so the parents could decide which language their child is hearing. If I had known the toy would be this way, I would not have purchased it. It's apparent when you first look at it, but when you actually bring it home and your child starts playing with it, you see that unless you want to teach your child to be bilingual at infancy, it's not that helpful.

This is a nice toy, and my 2-yr olds love it, but the voice is simply creepy.
