My son saw a book of Daniel Tiger's 5 Minute Stories at the library with an option for having them read to you by an electronic speaker embedded in the cover. It seemed like an interesting idea, an audiobook paired with words on the page so that he can hear the words while reading them. Except... there's no way to go directly to a story, so unless you go through the whole book all at once (an hour of stories assuming the narration really is 5 minutes), you're going to spend a lot of time skipping pages when you power it up again to get to where you left off. Also, the narrator uses random notes whenever he hits a song in the story (most stories have 1-3 songs in them). And lastly, I'm pretty sure the narrator was not given the text of the story in question, as he uses different words at times. And, rather bizarrely, he apparently has something against the word, "toots", because when Miss Elaina shows up, he simply omits that word every time.
