Sesame Street Music Player Storybook - Collectors by Farrah McDoogle (Hardcover)

My toddler was excited to find this book because he’s currently obsessed with Sesame Street. He also loves singing! Unfortunately, this isn’t what I had hoped it would be. The design is awful (see other reviews with pics included) and the music disc things aren’t super toddler friendly (he had a hard time getting any of them onto the player correctly). The songs are instrumental, which was deff a bummer (He loves hearing Elmo’s voice on his other sound books).

Very cute and my daughter loves it! I thought the songs would actually be sung by the characters, however it’s just instrumental music that plays and you have to read the words and sing along with the songs yourself.

Didn’t work, I bought this as a gift and was totally disappointed that it did not work. Music kept getting turning off after few seconds. I ended up returning it.

Just the instrumentals which was disappointing

CD player stopped working after 1 day

This reminds me of the books back when I was younger and I am so happy that my son is able to experience this too! Fun songs that make my son dance a lot

Love the concept. To get the music player out you just slide it up and it comes out. I wish they made another one but with thick pages. My daughter almost rips the pages when she’s trying to turn the page

To get the CD player and the CDs off of the book cover, you have to rip it, and it looks terrible. You can't detach this as it is part of the book. Even if you try to leave the plastic on the right side, it isn't something sturdy enough to last and actually be a container for the CDs. I also don't think the plastic packaging is good to be around young kids. Music is ok but I didn't realize there would be no lyrics on the CD, just the tune. Kids who are at the age to be interested in this, can't typically read the lyrics book, so they'd rather hear the lyrics to sing along. Will be returning. Love the CD player concept and that my 4 and 2 year old were playing independently, but for the cost, will be looking for something different.

Batteries were corroded. Not at all safe for children to play with. I returned to my local Target store.

My 18 month old is obsessed. She loves listening to the melodies and learning how to use the CD player. The pictures are also great.

The battery exploded inside the CD player…

Love this little plastic record set and the fact that my littles can use it (mostly) independently.

I got this for our 2 year old and wish I read more reviews! Overall it’s cute and the music is nice (but quiet), however they don’t sing any of the lyrics, just the melody! That’s the first thing we don’t love as we have to sit there and sing the songs, which is fun when we’re using it together but he also wants to use it independently…which leads to the other frustrating thing with this book which is how not toddler friendly it is. The CDs are difficult to keep in and the buttons are not super obvious to a toddler. You have to hit play again if you want to switch to the next melody (and also know to turn the page) and most of the time he ends up ejecting the cd instead of playing it or switching to the next one. Maybe when he’s older it’ll be better (although my almost 4 yr old struggles a bit with it as well)

Opened the toy and it did not work however it was because the batteries were no good and acid all over

My two year old loves this book. He is always carrying the CD player around the house playing it ☺️ Yes, there are plenty of "cons" to it as far as design goes, but you'd really have to be a Grouch to give it a completely bad review given the joy it gives the kiddos.

GREAT PRICE, ADORABLE!

This was not a good gift for our 2.5 year old. The music was hard to hear if the player wasn’t being held up. The discs wouldn’t stay in the player unless I held the lid down. The quality of the music being played wasn’t the best.

The "CD PLAYER" has all the music already in it in low quality midi form. The "CD"s are just pegs in a particular formation that tells the player which group of songs to play. That would be fine except the plastic "CD"s only work facing one way but also don't click into place. It's very hard for small uncoordinated hands to keep the disc from moving when putting the disc in. Can't use it anywhere but on a flat hard surface. Very frustrating for my five year old.

We love this book! It plays the instrumental music. The lyrics are in the book to sing along. There are also stories to read. The songs include: Sesame Street Theme, If You're Happy and You Know It, Looby Loo, A Little Wheel A-Turnin'. Rig-a-Jig, Polly-Wolly-Doodle, C is for Cookie, Apples and Bananas, Sing a Song of Sixpence, The Muffin Man, Polly, Put the Kettle On, Oats, Peas, Beans, and Barley Grow, Rubber Duckie, The Animal Fair, Eency-Weency Spider, The Bear Went Over the Mountain, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Five Little Ducks, People in Your Neighborhood, I've Been Working on the Railroad, A Sailor Went to Sea, Hey, Diddle Diddle, If All the Raindrops, and Down by the Bay.

No words to the songs, the packaging has to be removed to get to the cds then there is no where to store them. Pretty disappointing!
