It’s hard to overstate just how much love this adorable little device from LeapFrog garnered from our parent testers. Suffice to say, they were wishing they could give it higher scores. So what exactly was so darn enchanting? On-the-Go Story Pal is an adorable little plastic bunny, no bigger than a grapefruit, that plays music, sings both upbeat songs and soothing lullabies, tells stories, and even has a recording and playback feature. You or your child can press the button and record up to 10 minutes of a story or song. This way, they can still hear your voice while you finish cleaning the kitchen, or better yet, perhaps the voice of a far-off family member like grandma or grandpa. The database of over 70 stories and music really impressed our testers. They also liked how you could go online and download more. The stories themselves are well done with talented voice actors. In addition, they include fun sound effects and songs, making them very engaging. The stories activate children’s imaginations without using a screen, and it teaches kids to simply listen and enjoy. Parents found the Story Pal to be one of those rare products that can be entertaining for a wide age range of children. It’s perfect for small hands, and because of the cleverly simple operation, even if little ones don’t really know what’s going on or can’t follow the stories, they can still have fun playing “on / off / next” with the buttons. That said, the stories and songs are mature and entertaining enough for older kids too. Oh, and it travels well. There’s a headphone jack, so as a bonus, during car rides, parents don’t have to be subjected to the same song or story playing on repeat. So not to worry Mom & Dad, LeapFrog’s got your back.
