Take-Along Storyteller

I use this as a center during reading groups. My students love it! Stories are great for kinders.

This was the #1 Christmas gift my 3 year old daughter received this year! She can play the stories and songs independently and it entertains her for hours! It actually keeps her off the TV because she'll play with this and "read" the books instead of watching Daniel Tiger on TV. She has memorized the songs and even sings them to her little twin brothers in applicable situations (i.e. "Grown-ups come back..." when one of them is crying during a separation with me). We absolutely love this storyteller, the songs, and the books! If your child is a fan of Daniel Tiger, this is the perfect gift!!

My 4 year old got it for his birthday but honestly wasn’t too interested after a day. I thought it would be something he could do by himself if needed or in the car. Luckily, my two year old is just as obsessed with Daniel tiger so we use it every night with her now. But mainly just one story because she’s obsessed with baby Margaret and only wants that specific book. But she’ll occasionally press the button to listen to the songs. She has also figured out where the dial needs to be to hear her specific book and which button to press if she wants songs. So it’s pretty easy to navigate for a young child. There are two volume options which we all know as overstimulated parents is a huge plus. The music is clear and great and so are the stories. There is a little trolly ding after each page so you know when to turn the page. Plus what parent doesn’t like a break from reading a story every now and then.

My daughter has played with this music player and storyteller daily for over a month. She loves looking at the books while listening to the stories and we also read the books when we don’t want to use the player. The player has done well with a few drops and the batteries are still going strong. Our girl LOVES the Daniel Tiger universe and this is her most used toy at the moment.

The song part stopped working shortly after we got it (after return window of course); however, the stories are still working great! My 3-year old can work it herself and loves all the books too. It’s a pretty good deal for the books only, I just wish the songs still worked.

we love this electronic reader! my 2.5 yr old easily figured out how to use it to guide her turning the pages and she loves the music option as well. this is fantastic for road trips and those early mornings when you need to get ready and keep a toddler entertained.

1. The amount of little books alone is worth the price. 2. They put snippets of the actual episode audio in the read aloud. These parts are highlighted in a different color in the books. So, you can actually hear Daniel or Jodi or Dad Tiger (etc) say the phrases exactly how they say it in the show. 3. SUPER easy for a toddler to work by themselves. You turn the dial to whichever song or story, and then press the dial to start. If you want it to stop/pause, just press the dial again. Want to resume? Press the dial. Now your kid can listen to the same song over and over and over and over without you doing anything. 4. DURABLE. It's been dropped a lot. Still works! 5. TWO volume settings!!! I think the loud setting is a bit too loud, but I'm sure it's helpful for when there's a lot of kids around, or for listening from a distance. The quieter setting is pretty normal.... like conversation level loudness. 6. It's been about 3/4 of a year since we got it, and we still haven't had to change the batteries. Given, there was a period of maybe 3 months where we hid it because everybody else couldn't stand hearing the stories or songs anymore because the toddler was OBSESSED with it. Like played with it for hours each day. HOURS. The toddler has calmed down a little since then and will oblige us if we ask them to take a break from it. I guess that is a downside, but the way I see it, either you're reading it or the storyteller is... and sometimes, we all just need Mom Tiger to take over.

The suggested age for this little set is way off. While littles would certainly appreciate the ‘songs ‘ portion, the ‘stories’ portion is for older kids ( i.e. most toddlers couldn’t follow along on a printed page as a story is narrated) This has proven to be an invaluable tool for my Daniel Tiger-loving grandson who is non verbal. We always believed he could read at an early age and his ability to follow along (word for word) on his own underscores this. Well worth the price. An excellent resource for home or car rides♥️

Daughter loved it. After less than a month of use it just plays 2 seconds of the songs and stories before skipping over and over, to my daughters distress. Huge disappointment and upsetting for the child who loved this toy.

Hello seller! You cannot sell product which is broken!!

My kids love to listen to the stories!

Love it! It's used more than my toonie box right now

Great for Daniel Tiger fans. Easily operable for children without adult, my three year old had no problems. Makes a trolley sound when the child needs to turn the page. Includes songs from the show and moments in the book with the characters true voices. Battery life has been great. The two levels of volume have been great for car rides and moments when it needs to be a little louder when company is over. Books are hardcover and have lasted much play. Only con is your child has to be good at turning the pages on the bell since the story does not give long before it begins reading the next page after the trolley sound.
