I've never seen a toy like this before. From the moment you put the batteries in it starts moving and moving to the music with such energy! I like the fact that it plays real songs and not hackneyed nursery rhymes. There are two buttons, one on the right and one on the left. The left button can record your voice for 15 seconds, while the right button can play more than 100 songs. This is a great addition to our toy collection and I know it will be a lot of fun to play with.
