Bugsby Reading System Review
My son recently got a Bugsby Reading System to review, well actually we won it in one of the contests over at TwitterMoms. But either way it was sent to us and I let him have the honor of opening it and playing with it. 
I don’t care whether or not this toy is for children older, I believe he has proven that it is for the ones slightly younger than the recommended age.
Bugsby came with:
- User Manual
- Interactive Book
- Bugsby Memory Stick (I think they call it a game cartridge)
Little A tore open the box since he has seen this before and waited patiently
(haha) for me to cut Bugsby free from his box. As he waited he thumbed through the book, but it was that little green bookworm that he wanted most. Now this is recommended for ages 3-7, but I’m here to tell you little 2 year olds love it…at least mine does.
Finally the worm was free and I handed Bugsby over to him, the first thing he did was grab the cartridge and I put it in for him. After that he would place Bugsby right above the picture he wanted to hear, his favorite thing seemed to be those that made music or a funny sound. I can’t recall the book he actually got but they have several now as we keep buying more books for the kids. The books run about $12-$15 but they include the book and the little cartridge. (I’m secretly hoping they go down for Black Friday, shhh)
One of the books: (Bugsby’s Amazing Search)
This book does three different things, (as they all do) it can read the whole 
story, play a word hunt or your child can just point over a picture and find out what it is, says or does. But there is also text in the book that your child can read, depending on their age and the pictures are colorful and some even make noise. In the “Amazing Search” if you place Bugsby over the “pig” it will oink.
The story is all about Bugsby losing his glasses in one of his books but he isn’t sure which one. His friends Josh and Hannah decide to go with him in the search of his glasses (I think I like this story best as my daughter lost her glasses for about a month) Bugsby goes to the farm and asks the pig, goes into the forest and asks the bats, dives into the ocean, etc. You will laugh at where those glasses were the whole time.
For those of you that want to purchase the Bugsby Reading System for your child head on over to Vtech and place your order. Or even Wal-mart, Target, Amazon.com, etc. Or you could sign up for Bugsby’s create your own story contest and try to win. This is for children, not adults.
