Should I get the talker zoo or this A to Z learning zoo?

We have both. I say go with the A-Z zoo!!! Our a-z zoo has been around for about 4 years. My kids love playing with it! I love the learning it encourages they enjoy and matching the letters. The animal talkers come visit the A-Z zoo often. The animal talker unit quit working after about 6 months. I replaced the batteries but that didn't help. There's only one place on animal talkers to place the animal for the noise vs. the a-z that has 27 noise spaces.

Depends on what your looking for. I bought this for my little girl and she loves the animals. Yes, all the animals were in the box.

I'm not familiar with zoo talkers but each animal has a corresponding letter of the alphabet. You press on the letter and it makes the animal sound, press it again and it reads the letter. There's a quiz button that gives an animal sound to identify and a music mode as well. Our daughter is 2 years, 8 months and does not tire of this play set.

No, you need a LeapFrog Explorer (1 or 2) or any of the LeapPads. I'd get the Ultra if I was buying something new.

I would get this one. I got it for my daughter´s 8th birthday and she can do all the first ones easily - at least as easily as I can!

I would go with the original first. The types of cards on the original help you learn faster and overal the original is more fun as a standalone game

I think it is worth it. It comes with one game already installed which includes music, a book, and letter writing practice at the very least. I just picked up a bunch of the games for $1.98 at toys r us though if you change your mind.

Here's the deal. You can buy the Fridge Phonics product that has upper case letters for age 2+ (product shaped like the sun). The Fridge Words product (shaped like an airplane) has lower case letters and forms up to 3 letter words -- and is for 3+. The videos roughly match the curriculum on the products... Letter Factory is for 2+ and Talking Words Factory is for 3+. Products + videos are great reinforcement of basic skills!!!

Between these two, I prefer the Super Brain Set. The main reason is that it includes pieces from a few special sets such as the Carnival Set and the Power Construction Set.

There are over 100 apps that are pre-loaded. Most are great educational games that are arranged by age or school grade for math, spelling, reading, writing, memory, geography, etc. Lots of stories and books. There are also some other games like Angry Birds, Candy Crush, etc. just for fun and are hidden away so you can dole them out when you want. Most apps are full version and all of them are fun for the kids. You don't need wifi, so you don't have to worry about the internet or popup ads where they would buy something. If you want to download more games, you can turn on wifi and go to Google Play Store. It's a really great learning tool, but it isn't a toy - so you have to keep an eye on them.

I would suggest the Fisher Price table as we had the LeapFrog table and it lasted less than a year before it stopped working. I am a (rare, I think!) parent that does not allow her children to abuse their toys, books, etc. and they are taught to respect their belongings. All that to say that there has been no rough play with it. It looks absolutely brand new. I've changed the batteries several times using different brands each time to no avail. I contacted LeapFrog customer service twice and received an answer of "change the batteries" and "our warranty only lasts 90 days". Needless to say, they were no help whatsoever. I even asked for a wiring diagram so that I can try to pinpoint the problem myself, but they said one wasn't available. They did send a 15% discount code as consolation. In my opinion, it's not enough to purchase an expensive LeapFrog product again. This was a very disappointing situation as this table was my daughter's favorite toy and she enjoyed it while it lasted.

Well, I've played Rollick, and I've seen Reverse Charades. They are essentially the same game. We like Rollick better, as there area a LOT more words to play with, so you won't run out very quickly. Also Rollick has a bunch of twists so it can be adapted for larger teams and or children. You should have fun with either, but if you haven't purchased yet, I'd go with Rollick. And sorry it took so long to answer. For some reason, Gmail buried it in the promotions section of my email.

I would go with the Junior edition for a 9 year old. I doubt any of these are risque, just harder to guess. Games should be fun, not frustrating.

To be honest, my son is very young and cant fully use it. I figured when he does start using it more, he would be up to date. I would say for the price difference, the 2 prob. Would be smarter. Leap frog has such great products, I am sure the 2 is packed with great stuff and a lot less $.

Thanks. The graphics seem better with Leapfrog compared to our Baby VSmile, and I'd like to buy the VSmile for the game compatibility but can't afford that and a Leapster.

I suggest getting a good one if you are going to get one and if your son really enjoys learning. We bought these slides and our girls loved them so much we ended up getting another set that had 100 slides in it.

Thanks! My grandson is 7months old. I was looking at leapster but daughter-in-law says she's heard vtech is better. Which is best & there seems to be different programs which is best for his age?

Yes. I purchased the Zoo Train to add to the larger Imaginarium set. The animals do not ride that well in the train cars but my great-nephew plays with them all through his town
