Wonderbooks and VOX Books

Wonderbooks and VOX Books are pre-loaded audiobook players that are permanently attached to a hardcover book. A child just needs to press Play in order to listen to the book while reading along. The audiobook players include a headphone jack for independent listening, and a Micro-USB charging port. Wonderbooks include a learning mode that prompts the child to think of answers to questions. Refer to the instructions on Children's materials for additional guidance.
