Hello, I have my little 2-year nephew given to the Fisher-Price Dog and he was very excited about the first minute of it! His other toys at one time was air and the dog was accurately taken and tested under the microscope :)! In my opinion the dog is educationally very valuable because it the child with songs and sentences like "I love you!" or "Let's play!" motivated his body parts to press :). The voice of the pooch is very beautiful child-friendly! Is definitely a great birthday gift for a young child! :)
