CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Disappointed with the quality
Comment: The puzzles are pretty poor quality construction. Other wood puzzles are much more durable, this one is just a paper sticker over the top which peels and falls off with the slightest moisture. Apart from that, the sound quality is also very poor and it hard to discern some of the sounds.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not impressed by the technology
Comment: My daughter is just getting the hang of puzzles, so I thought this would be perfect for her. Not only would she get the reward of fitting the piece in the correct spot, she'd also get the reward of an animal sound.

I didn't realize that the sounds have nothing to do with the pieces: it's just a little light-sensitive chip in the well. So you only have to cover up the well to make the sound: with a different piece, with your hand, by turning the light off at night when I go to bed (so annoying). So my daughter has no interest in doing the puzzle: she figured out right away that she just has to cover the chip. Which she pretty quickly got bored with.

I'm going to take out the batteries and just use it as a regular puzzle. I'm just disappointed, because surely there was some way to match up the chip with each piece. Why didn't the manufacturers just do that?

Customer Rating:
Summary: Quality puzzle, but...
Comment: The puzzle is well made and the sound is good. However, the sounds will go off no matter which puzzle piece is inserted in to the space. So the child gets the reward of the sound whether they did it correctly or not.

Customer Rating:
Summary: We thought we had mice
Comment: It is good quality, but the sounds are light sensitive and my son keeps misplacing the pieces. Early on, when I would turn off the lights, I would hear the gerbil and I thought we had an infestation. Now, I am used to hearing all the animals complain every night when I turn out the lights.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Pet Sounds Puzzle
Comment: I love the puzzle. I hope my grandson will equally love it. It should help him recognize animals and their sounds. Puzzles are also good manipulative toys. His mother loved puzzles when she was little.
