Do the records have a voice singing the songs so the child can learn the lyrics, or is it just music?

No. Just music box music. Records only selects which music box music to play!

i bought it for my grandson and i don't recall any singing; believe it is just music. But it has held up well and teaches alot of fine motor skills,putting the record on the turn table, putting the "needle" on the record, and winding it up.

No. It will only play the records that come with it. They are pretty much indestructable. They are designed for hard play by kids. They love it.

They cannot. It only shows the title and artist by name. But my 4-year old can move to the song she wants just by hearing it. She's worn out the Frozen song for sure! It really is easy for them to navigate by sound, especially as the visual for an album would be the same for any song on it-the cover wouldn't be specific for one song. Hope this helps you. :)

It doesnt. I bought it and was very dissapointed to learn that it comes already with music and the child does not have the opportunity to play at all

Yes, it does. In fact my son has been listening to a story on CD for the last several hours thanks to repeat. :)

I bought this as a gift for someone's child. I believe one of the features I liked on it was the fact that you could sing along with the microphone. Doesn't even have a button for recording a voice? I wish I could be more help. What about the manual it came with. The directions should tell you how to work the microphone. Good Luck.

Sadly, no. You must select a song. There is an on/off switch on the mic but even if it's on, it will only work after you select a song. I'm still glad I purchased this though. My 3 year old still has yet to break it and we've had it for almost a year now. Also he and my one year old really enjoy this toy. The baby just puts the mic up to mouth an goes aaahhhh. It's so funny to watch her. My 3 year old has learned to watch the numbers and letters that go by on the screen and sing them along with the music. I am still unable to find anything for toddlers that you can just use the mic with. Hope this helps. Sadly, no. You must select a song.

I recently got this for my daughter.... are these real "vocal" rhymes or are these the "melody/instrumental" rhymes? All I can hear in words is the ABC, 123, colors and opposites. Anything else in words at all??

Yes! The recordings go past 1 year in the Pearhead Giraffe Babybook! It goes up to age 5 and there are a few blank pages you can also customize if you'd like!

You can use it without the cd's. My 3 year old Granddaughter sings happy birthday and twinkle twinkle little star all the time, and my 1 year old Grandson loves to just make noises and hear his own voice.

Does anyone have a more clear and helpful answer for this question? What kind of thing would I need to hook up to this to record the sound or my kid singing along?
170027
Yes, by holding down the star button they can speak or sing into the microphone and it will amplify their voice. Also, they can record their voice without the built in music

No it has toy like CDs that the child learns to put in & take out ... It does play children's songs it is great for smal motor coordination both of my grandchildren loved it & played with it a lot. Best for ages 16 months to two years

No, it's really just a toy that plays it's own songs and has a microphone. It plays many different songs in many different voices, but not capable of other karaoke songs unfortunately. Cannot plug into a computer or mp3 either.Hope this helps.

Yes - the only bad thing is you can't sing your own tune - your child is stuck singing the songs that are programmed on the machine. My kids like it a lot though!

Sorry no. There is a lullaby and elmo only says "elmo is sleepy". He doesn't sing. The toy is cute and my now 20 month old loved it.
