We bought this for Christmas for our toddler who has a speech delay. The reader is very sturdy and the cards are nice with pretty pictures and words on each of them. However, the translation and pronunciation of a lot of the words is terrible. It did give us a pretty good laugh. We decided to keep this and use the cards as flash cards without the reader, as letting our toddler use it to read the words to him would be doing him a disservice.
