My son received the LeapFrog Alphabet Pal this weekend as a gift. This plastic caterpillar has buttons on each of its legs that when pressed will either say a letter of the alphabet, sound out a letter, name the color on the leg, or play a song depending on what setting it's on. The toy is cute, although it is a bit annoying (as most kid's toys are). Everytime the cord attached to the caterpillar is pulled, the alphabet song starts playing. And after about 100 times of hearing the song, you may be ready to throw the poor caterpillar out the window.Interesting fact: The LeapFrog Alphabet Pal will not let you sound out dirty words. Yes, I tried it. Yes, my husband tried it. And everytime you even come close to sounding out a dirty word, the caterpillar starts to giggle and says "That tickles!". Pretty cool that they thought of this little parental control, just in case you have a precocious older sibling or an immature parent playing with it.
