My 7 year old daughter like her. It uses mainly the "speaker" function to its mp3, but also the changing colors, which are very pretty. Small games included are appreciated too, especially the mode "clairvoyance"! It could be a total success but it has 2 small negative points: AC adapter-not, and waking consume much battery. However you can buy the adapter vtech apart. -on did not see the time in the dark; suddenly the kidimagic will not replace the traditional alarm clock of my daughter, because she likes to know the time when she wakes up at night.
