Elmo's Recordable Storybook Review

The makers of Record a Story children's books sent me this Sesame Street Together at Heart storybook to review. Let me tell you, these books are the neatest things! My son loves books and these types of books he can read all by himself. He can just open it and listen to the story unfold.

If you have a little one that is far from you that you would love to share some love and a story with, these books just might be for you. This would be perfect for a military mother or father who has to go overseas. You can record the story for your little one and they can read it whenever they want and hear your voice spoken to them. What a way to stay connected!

There are several different story themes you can choose from which includes: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas', Guess How Much I Miss You, or Sesame Street: Together at Heart. These books can be purchased from Toys 'R Us, Walmart, Borders, Barnes & Noble and even from Amazon.com. They are generally around $19.99 per book.

The books are very easy to use. You simply open the door on the right side of it and switch the switch to record. You record each page one by one. When you are done recording, switch the switch back and your child can't accidentally record over anything. You do have to make sure when reading the book that it lay flat or almost flat. If it isn't, it will not play that page. My son, who is 3, usually does not have trouble getting every page to play without a problem. Sometimes he tries to listen to it laying down and then it will skip a page or something. He has to read his book almost every night before bed. His dad & I recorded our voices on every other page so he can hear both of us whenever he wants. He absolutely loves it.

Be sure to try it for yourself and give this joy to your little one too!
