Review on Baby Einstein Octoplush Musical Octopus Stuffed Animal Plush Toy, Age 3 Month+, Blue, 11 by Brian Rivera

I write this review mainly to respond to some people's concern that the French audio doesn't sound like actual French.Well, I am not sure if these reviewers are talking about the same version of the toy, but our octoplush speaks French well enough, especially for a baby. Yes, it is muffled at times, as the English and Spanish audio recordings are, because that's what they are: recordings. But that has nothing to do with the accent! I am sure that the French audio doesn't sound any worse for a French person than the English would sound to an American. Of course, it doesn't sound like a French person, because it is a toy, but IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE A FRENCH TOY WOULD! Take it from a person who was born in France, spend the first 25 years of her life in France, studied and earned a PhD in Paris, and not from people who 'learned a little French back in high school, never went to France but knows for sure the accent is bad'. Actually my family who spent all their lives in France feel the same and love this toy, too.So if what holds you back from getting this toy is the fact that you are not sure if your baby will be able to learn foreign words for colors, don't be afraid and get it!Please note however that I am talking about our unit (which makes our daughter very happy) that we acquired about 6 months ago, which may or may not be different than the first version; I don't know if they improved the toy ever since the first reviews claiming that the French is horrible were written, but the newest version is fine with us!
