My 1 year old granddaughter got this bear for Christmas. And it has not worked right except for that day. After reading all the reviews I am beginning to think that I just happened to purchase a bad one. Of course, she is not at the age that she can use this toy herself. But we took it out of the box and turned it on for her, the voice startled her at first, but she has gotten used to it. The next day we turned it on for her and it was skipping pages. We took the batteries out and put in new ones and I turned it on for her today and now it just keeps repeating page one. I have older grandchildren that are very rough and have kept TJ out of their reach because I am afraid they will break his arms. Has anyone else had any problems with this toy? I am afraid to buy any more books until I see if Hasbro will replace this bear with another one and see if it works.

An excellent toy and interactive too!! The reviewer that gave it a bad rating is obviously a bitter and uninformed as she obviously doesn’t any hands on experience with this toy and is looking for an outlet to vent out her frustrations.

We got this toy as a christmas present for our 23 month old. Overall this toy is satisfactory however, I find the speech/voice a bit odd and it is very rigid and robotic. When the bear moves there is a somewhat loud buzzing noise like gears grinding..We also purchased all of the books that go along with him and they are interesting and cute. I would probably purchase this again..I just wish that they would work out the movements and make them smoother or at most less noisy. I also wish they would have a different voice or choice of male or female bears..maybe a female voice would be better.

I think this toy is OK, I did find the speach thing a little annoying, but overall it is an OK toy. My 2.5 yr old does try to move or hold the toy when it is talking and I am a bit worried about it getting broken arms. Stories are cute, my little one isn’t entirely sure about it yet.
