What’s It About?
On a colorful screen that looks just like the See 'n Say toy, kids tap the spinner (or tap the animal they want the spinner to land on). They'll hear the sound the animal makes when they tap it and then see a short video clip (about five seconds long) of the animal in its habitat and hear some interesting facts. Each animal has four videos. Two groups of animals are included, and kids can tap the arrow or shake the device to get to the second set. They'll learn about ducks, pigs, chickens, sheep, cows, horses, frogs, eagles, cats, goats, turkeys, and dogs.
Is It Any Good?
FISHER PRICE: SEE 'N SAY is totally toddler-friendly. The controls are easy for them to maneuver -- they can randomly tap, and the spinner will spin and choose an animal, and the video clip will automatically play. Little ones will love seeing and hearing the animals, and older preschoolers will appreciate the tidbits they learn about each animal. The videos are a bit grainy, but each lasts only a few seconds, just right for a toddler's attention span. It's a good choice for toddlers to explore on their own or together with a sibling or parent.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
