I bought a rose for my daughter, and I find it so well that I took a blue for my nephew. Many superb melodies, it changes lullabies heard in all toys and we can not stand in the long run. The sound is neither too strong nor too weak, it is battery properly. The baby has to press the star to switch it on, it's not hard at all. The star lights. The light reassures baby when he wakes up in the dark, and it automatically goes out after a while. It is removable and washable.
