Description:

Your child can read a story to Grandpa even if Grandpa lives far away. Record a Story: My Grandpa Is Special enables children to create and record their own story. Send it to Grandpa, and he can enjoy the gift of a grandchild's voice reading a story to him for years to come.

Record a Story: My Grandpa Is Special features cartoon animal families demonstrating why Grandpa is special. For example: "Some grandpas can show that they're very strong." Each time a child turns a page, a musical tune plays and a narrator reads the words on the page. At that point, a child can re-record the words, and add his or her own personal thoughts about Grandpa. Follow these directions:

  • Turn to the page you wish your child to record.
  • Press the RECORD button. Listen to the instructions. When you hear a beeping sound, have your child read the words on the page.
  • After your child is finished reading the page, press STOP. You can re-record until you are satisfied with the recording. Repeat the process with the remaining pages of the book.
  • Set the locking switch behind the screw-on plate to ensure that your child's voice recording won't be inadvertently erased. The voice recording is permanent; it will not be lost when the book's batteries are changed. Three replaceable AAA batteries come with the book.

It can be difficult finding a meaningful gift for a grandparent. Record a Story: My Grandpa Is Special solves that issue for parents. A child's voice reading to his or her Grandpa is a lifetime keepsake.

Features:

Record a child's voice on each page, reading words and speaking to grandpa.


8 recordable two-page spreads.


Personalize an audio greeting on the first page.


Lock button prevents erasures.


Heavy board pages withstand extended use.

This was such a great gift from grandpa. Reading with parents and child is a way to spend quality time together. It was a great gift and I would recommend to others.

First off , this is thecutestthing ever ..."recording" is a joke... If you even try, good luck not throwing it out the window. Had to record it twelve times before it actually worked and then when my dad opened it on Christmas and turned the pages it repeated the same pageant half the pages didn't work! Rip off!

1DIDN'T WORKJan 10, 2012
By Amy
Purchased for a christmas gift, book didnt work. Wouldnt play any sounds back after they were recorded. Big dissapointment. I read the reviews before I purchased and knew there was a 50% chance of this happening so I guess that's what I get for reading the reviews and buying it anyway. I also bought the recordable book "My grandma is special" - it worked great. Its a super cute gift if you can get one that works. Don"t buy it if you are relying on this as the only gift for someone - or if you do buy it, buy it early enough to exchange it with Amazon if it doesnt work.

4TouchyJan 01, 2012

I ordered 3 of these books... took a while to record them, then gave them to the Grandma's for XMAS... they opened them and THEY DIDN"T WORK!! After playing around with them, we decided the pages are very touchy and work BEST in well lighted areas (not darkened xmas tree areas aparantly!) However... super embarrassing. I personally, not a fan of the music... kind of annoying, it is really loud, and my kids voices are not as loud as the music... I probably wouldn't buy these again.

By Christine Cunningham
This is a sweet book with charming pictures. This was a Christmas gift for my dad and my nieces had such a fun time recording the story. The only trouble is the voice activation only works in a room that has plenty of light. Other than that I am well satisfied.
