I purchased the create-a-story as a requirement for my son’s daycare center. He is 3 years old and this is one of the learning tools they use at his school. Being that he recently turned 3 it is kind of hard to keep his attention because he wants to use the pen to point at the objects he wants to point at rather than what the book is telling him to point at. If he was a little more mature (maybe 4 or 5), this is a great learning tool. I don’t get a chance to actually see him use it in school but all of the children have them so hopefully he follows instructions a little better than he did at home.

I WOULD LIKE TO THROW THIS PRODUCT IN THE TRASH. MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED IT LAST CHRISTMAS, NEARLY 11 MONTHS AGO NOW. I HAVE ALREADY RETURNED IT FOR A REPLACEMENT SINCE IT SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE DARN THING AGAIN BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER JUST RECEIVED TWO NEW BOOKS AND THE INSTANT WE PUT THE NEW CARTRIDGES IN IT REFUSED TO TURN ON. [...] CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXTREMELY NICE AND WILL REPLACE THE ENTIRE ITEM EASILY WHICH LEAVES ME WONDERING IF THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY GENTLE WITH THIS PRODUCT AND DO NOT USE IT THAT FREQUENTLY…PROBABLY ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK. WE EVEN KEEP IT IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX. IT IS A FUN PRODUCT AND MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT WILL TEACH HER TO READ BUT HAND EYE COORDINATION IS IMPORTANT AND IT TEACHES THAT. THIS PRODUCT HAS IRKED ME ONE TOO MANY TIMES AND I HAVE SERIOUSLY NEVER HAD THIS MANY TROUBLES WITH A PRODUCT. IF MY DAUGHTER HAD NOT RECENTLY RECEIVED TWO NEW BOOKS THAT SHE HAS NOT YET USED I WOULD HAVE SIMPLY THROWN THE PRODUCT AWAY INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT AGAIN. I CAN TELL YOU WITH NO UNCERTAINTY THAT I HATE THIS PRODUCT!

Our two boys, who are 4 yrs old and 2 yrs old, got this for Christmas. They also got several of the books, which is great because they got a similar item a couple of years ago and now all the books are discontinued.
They love it and it’s very easy to use. Our 4 year old is doing just great and our 2 year old (even though he can’t read yet) has a great time picking his story.
The real problem we have is that it won’t let us type in our 2 year old’s name. Like the other review here, our son’s name is Christian. We can enter “Chris” but it won’t let us enter a T. This is pretty inexcusable. Who is VTech (or Disney) to say what we can or cannot spell for the name? And the only time it’s used is when the story first opens there’s a screen that says, “Story by (name)”. It doesn’t actually speak the name or show it anywhere else. I mean, who cares if some kid without adult supervision writes something they aren’t supposed to. So, apparently my son will never be able to write his name because VTech wants to parent every little thing. I think that’s pretty rotten.
By the way, if Christ did come to our house, who’s VTech to say he can’t write his own name????

I got this one for my son to help him build up language…he loves it!. I just order some new books for it from amazon.com where else would I get such a deal…it’s just the wire that connects to tv slot is making a little annoying noise and is kind of loose…battery power is not that long lasting either

First I would like to say. Yes, he loves it. Yes, it’s exceptionally educational (even teaches commas, quotations, question marks ect…) If I were a small I child I would love this thing to, but as an adult. Oh My Gosh. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Annoying. My son is 3 and has been able to read since the age of 2 (no exaggeration, would correct me if I misspoke during any of his dr seuss stories even before he could speak). So, when I saw this at Target the other night I knew he would love it.
Let me forewarn the parents about to buy this for their kids.
The books are around 20 pages long with endless activities. But, did they include headphones so I wouldn’t have to hear it OVER and OVER again. No. Also, they have censored the name part. My sons name is Warren, We can’t put it in because the first three letters spell WAR. Seriously. Apparently War is a bad word in the 21st century. We just put in our last name and the little guy is happy with that.
Caution, it’s very addictive, I’ve resorted to hiding it on him and telling him that Mickey needs to rest.
Overall, extremely entertaining and educational product for children. But for parents…. I pray that if you buy it, you have a large enough house where you won’t have to hear it all day long.
