Hallmark’s new Recordable Storybook features voice capture technology, recording the reader’s voice, which is captured within the book. When a child turns a page, the book automatically plays the text on that page in the reader’s voice.

Recordable Storybooks are great alternatives for out-of-town grandparents, parents in the military, or parents who travel on business who still want to “read” to their kids from across the miles.

Recordable Storybooks are also available in Everyday Designs

If there is an “erase” button on this book as there are on their recordable ornaments, I highly recommend securing it with tape. We had one that my boys’ great-grandmother recorded a message on…. right before she died…. and their curious little fingers accidentally erased it.  ohh

The demo says that there is a sliding switch on the inside of the battery compartment that locks the recording.  I wonder if they redesigned it.

Today I went to Laguna Hills Mall to check out the books (they have all three).  There’s a small Phillips screw securing the battery compartment and sliding switch.
