Toy/book that sings nursery rhymes

Is there a toy or book out there that sings out full nursery rhymes (with the words)?

I've found this but it only sings it out partially:

Yes, we have that one, it stops the singing but the tune continues, I imagine in the hope that the child will continue and sing to the end of the song-I really don't like it and the kids just find it confusing

We also have the fisher price Storybook rhymes toy, a similar looking electronic book. Yes, it sings in full, so in this sense is much better. But it has another problem- the song itself is far too fast, so kids really struggle to keep up with it. Neither are great bit I prefer the fisher price

We've had this sort of thing over the years for various dc but I've always found in the end that me singing the nursery rhymes is much better, I can stop and let them fill in the gaps or repeat until they've learned a particular bit. Is there a reason you're unable to just, well, sing them?

Thanks! I think I might stick to mr singing but sometimes it's nice to get a break!

I was looking for one of these a while ago ( I'm not a natural singer ) but were all only the first few lines. I bought a nursery rhymes cd for the car, does my head in but my son is 3.8 years and after 6 months knows all the words, maybe worth a go.

We have this: v tech nursery rhyme book

Warning: It is as annoying as fuck.

Have you considered a CD instead?
We have some CDs (gifts) full of nursery rhymes which DD loves listening / singing / dancing to, including:
Simply Kids
Very Favourite Nursery Rhymes
They're very different, but DD enjoys both. I find them rather fun, but the number of times they are played on repeat is enough to drive anyone mental! They are certainly better than the singing books we've tried.

My DD is currently playing the vtech one constantly at same time as another musical toy.

Will be a long day.

Bloody inservice days.

we always have CDs in the car - the devices never seem to get listened to for long.

Thanks!

I think I'll go with the vtech nursery rhyme book and get hold of some CDs too.
