Poingo Storybook Thomas and Friends - Thomas and the New Carousel

Ordered this product for granddaughters birthday. I've actually never seen the reading system work, but she already had several of the Poingo books and loved them. When I talked with her later, she told me she really liked Thomas and Friends.

Generally I don't write product reviews, but I thought that this was a great book for a little boy who loves Thomas! The poor review this received doesn't really tell the whole story, so to speak. My 3 yr old son got 3 Poingo books and the pen for Christmas and they entertain him as well as stimulate various thinking skills. I was excited to see this book available since he is crazy about Thomas the Train and anything to do with him, and bought it despite the bad review. To add this book to the Poingo pen was simple - just plug the pen into a USB port, open the content manager from a desktop icon, click on Thomas, click on copy! Fast and easy.

I had trouble downloading to the pen, but after weeks of trying to contact customer service, they were able to help me. Something missing from their directions is that you need to have a current version of java on your computer for the Content Manager to work. If it doesn't work for you go to [...] and click the link that checks if you have java. If you do not, go back to the original page and download the free version of java. After I did that the content manager on [...] worked well. The books are great and I'm glad we can finally add these to our collection.
