A PTPA Tester said:

My wife and I picked up the deluxe reader and immediately checked it out in the car. We couldn't wait to get home and show our son. The second he saw the books and the illustrations we had him hooked. The font was clear and the pictures were easy to recognize. Our son was interested in seeing what was behind the "cover-over" page. He also loved the flip board. He enjoyed interacting with it and tried to sound the words as we played with him.

Mom's Best Award Fantastic Products 2011

Mom's Best Award

Mom's Best Award was created to give moms and expecting moms an opportunity to share insights about prenatal, infants, toddlers, children, tween, preteen and teen products with other parents. When a product earns the Mom's Best Award designation, real moms have evaluated it and it has passed the strict Mom's Best Award evaluation process as conducted by real moms.

Parents can then purchase the product with confidence knowing that it will perform to a high level of satisfaction. After all, if you can't trust mom, who can you trust?

An MBA Mom Reviewer said:

I'm definitely impressed with all of the items that come in the Little Reader kit, and all of the resources that come online. My one and a half year old son was interested in learning the lessons because they were personalized - he loved seeing mom, dad, sister and himself! Read more at our Mom's Best Award Winner's Page.
