Vtech Tote 'n Go Laptop Plus

Pros: Lots to do; progressive learning; encouraging and appropriate praise; mouse movable for left-handers

Cons: Screen is a little small; annoying tunes, especially within game play, and NO MUTE BUTTON!

The Bottom Line: This has interested my 4 yo in early math and letter recognition without her realising. She has thoroughly enjoyed this. So has Mummy! A great choice for Christmas or birthday.
