Years ago I purchased this Item when it first came out. I was so proud of this as it was my very first sale I bought it,it cost me quite a bit of money than. I put it away on layaway it took me forever to save the money to pay it off. But when I did I was so pleased. Years later the first grandchild was born I waited until she was 5 years old to give it to her. I searched the house over No Box! No Goose! No tapes! No Books! What could of happened to the box My husband saw that I was searching and asked What was I looking for. I told him and he got so quite I knew something had happened He finely told me that he threw it all in the County Dump many years ago. I bought another one this one It sounds great just as it did years ago very unique a great addition She is a great story teller. My husband has been warned leave it alone. This one is for my Grandson when he is 5 years old I will give it to him. Meanwhile I must buy the tapes and books all over again. I am Still looking for the set to complete it....
I loved this as a kid, and now that I have my own little girl, it was wonderful to find someone who lovingly restores these to their original splendor. It was highly worth the money to invest with a reputable seller who ensures it works the way it did when it was new -35 years ago! She moves her head, eyes and beak, and softly tells a story before my little girl goes to sleep. It has become a tradition now.
I bought a beautiful set of mother goose and hector as broken. They look fantastic, these are very different than the teddy ruxpin and grubby I've repaired previously and I'm looking forward to it.
