Title: Good in theory
Product review: This toy is great if it works all of the time. I returned the first toy that we received as a gift because I thought it was broken. Letters can be inserted into slots and then the toy says the letter and word that corresponds. Unfortunately, a common problem with the toy is the little grooves that decipher which letter is which, get stuck quite often and when the child places a new letter in the groove, the toy incorrectly 'says' what it thinks is the new letter/word. When I returned my first 'broken' toy, the store informed me that this was a common problem and you need to run your fingers over the grooves to loosen them. This does not work all of the time. The second replacement toy has the same problem. When young children are trying to learn new letters and words, this problem can be very confusing (and annoying to the parent.)
