4 out of 5 stars Cool concept, but...   February 21, 2008
K. Wheeler (Indiana, USA)
I bought this for my 4 year old daughter for Christmas 2007. She really likes it, but there are a few downsides. First, it only comes with one story and new cartridges are hard to find and expensive (not to mention the fact that the projector was expensive to start with). Second, I expected to hear the voices of the Dora characters from the TV show--nope. It's just some female voice who narrates and does all of the character voices. Geez, I could do that. Finally, it's hard to get the picture into focus. My daughter doesn't notice any of these things, but I sure do. Hence my title, "Cool concept, but..."


4 out of 5 stars 2 storytimes?   February 1, 2008
Veronica K. Kennedy
My daughter and I love this product. She has grown out of her aquarium that would occupy her while she was trying to sleep. however, trying to find cartridges is a challenge. I did not realize there are 2 different storytime theaters out there both having 2 different size cartridges. My daughter was so looking forward to a change from Winnie the Pooh to discover no warning when purchased that cartridge was for another storytime theater-not the one we have though! They are both use the same name and if there is no picture of the projector shown, then you are assuming you are buying the cartridge for the only storytime projector you think is out there.....so beware..awesome product, but no warning from sellers that cartridge does not fit all storytimetheater projectors


4 out of 5 stars Great for bedtime   January 3, 2008
Cush (NJ USA)
On the plus side, my daughter now wants to go to bed to "watch" Dora.

On the down side, the "books" are very short. The first few times she would yell for more from her crib, now she just falls asleep after the first viewing.

Also, different tapes are very hard to find. I hope they are not discontinuing the item. I bought this as a last minute Christmas gift after seeing an ad on TV. I had never heard of it before then.

In regards to focusing the product, it did take me a good amount of time to get the picture into focus on the ceiling. You may have to turn the lens a number of times but it will show a very clear picture eventually.



5 out of 5 stars A bedtime favorite!   December 31, 2007
Daddio
This is a bedtime favorite around our house! My kids love these stories. Like a previous poster, we ended up buying one for our son after finding out how much our daughter loved this. It was a great christmas gift. Fun, entertaining, and educational.
We had one problem with it when we first tried it, but we figured out that the cartridge wasn't inserted correctly. Since then, it's worked just fine. We just make sure the kids don't bump it. At night, when they watch it before bed, we lay it on the floor facing the ceiling. That way, they can't move/bump it and they fall asleep watching it. It's been great!



5 out of 5 stars Great toy for kids!   December 30, 2007
Casey J. Klipping (rlf, mn,usa)
My two year old daughter loves this toy! She is an avid book reader so this is right up her alley! It's very durable and easy for her to use!
