Real Sounds and Lights
Barbie's Dream Townhouse is decorated throughout in classic Barbie pink, with lifelike intricate details, lights, and sounds. With over 55 pieces and accessories, the house has five fully furnished, deluxe rooms with chandeliers, tiki lights, a fireplace, and a refrigerator that all light up. Sounds include Barbie "humming" in the shower, the kitchen timer, the doorbell, the fireplace crackling, or the toilet flushing.
Along with the realistic lights and sounds, the townhouse also features a pink, personal elevator -- which easily moves from floor to floor with a pull string, and an outdoor spa area with a whirlpool tub and light-up tiki lamps.
Besides the whirlpool, Barbie can entertain her friends by cooking something in the fully stocked kitchen, watching a movie on her pop-up flat-screen TV, or even just snuggling up by the warm, crackling fireplace.

Zooming speedway sounds, lively music & flashing lights ramp up the excitement, with a winner every time. Requires four C batteries

Educational:
May not appear educational ("abc/123, repeat, repeat..duh"), but shows plenty of fundamentals of physics ie: motion, friction, gravity, centrifugal force, inertia, action/reaction, colors, lights, and sounds. The lights and sounds are thrilling for him. Flipping the finish line flag will make a "zoom, beep beep" sound which makes him laugh. He will flip that around a bunch of times to listen to it, now its a tiny worn and will pop out of the holder (ball joint thing).

Sitting up Incentive:
My son was 8 months and not that interested in sitting up at the time they got this for him. One time he started playing with it, he desires to sit up to play. This is a great toy for that transition period. He is now beginning to crawl and this also gets him up on all fours to see the track spin around.

Overall:
Great toy for infant about to sit up or crawl. Observing the basics of physics.

What my son liked:
For him, he was not a lot interested in the cars spinning, but desired to watch the track spin and put his hand on it to see what was going on. He will repeatedly press down and let go and press down on the track, so I am positive the motor process will wear out finally. This ought to be expected when you buy it.
