Brief: Adorable
Comment: My friend has a collection of music boxes and absolutely loved this one to add to her collection. You can't help but smile watching those bugs twirl around.

Brief: Parkeet Tested
Comment: I actually bought this for my Parakeet, Dave. He likes to play a bell along with a music box and we run through them every two years or so. After I broke the last one I bought this and I was relieved that it came in the mail very quickly.
It's so cute I wanted to keep it for myself but Dave rules my house so he got it. This probably sounds a little silly but he is a smart little fella and he flies to my shoulder and chirps at me until I guess what it is he wants (I have never mastered the interpretation of any of his calls save for the one he uses to call me which, for all I know means "Big Goofy Mammal" in parakeetese)- he actually knows the meanings of the words "snack," "Dave," "chips," "millet," "perch," "bath," "water," and "music box." He is not a talking parakeet- although sometimes he moves his beak open and closed when I'm talking. We mystify each other.
Oh, right- the music box. Sorry. The little bugs are magnetic and whirl to a moving magnet underneath them which, I think, is attached to the unseen musical mechanism.
This thing is adorable. (Dave was initially afraid of it- you'd be afraid of cute little toy bugs, too, if you only wieghed an ounce or two.) I think children would be charmed by it (my neighbor kids certainly are) but it's not for pre-schoolers without supervision- the bugs look too deliciously chewable for a toddler.
Mine plays the theme from "Love Story" which doesn't thrill me but Dave likes it fine so I'll live with it. It works very well and is small without being miniscule.
Very sweet little music box. It's a good buy. I think kids would dig it. If you have a parakeet- they also might like it.

Brief: Cutest thing ever!
Comment: My [....] daughter and I LOVE this box! The music plays Moonlight Sonata (I think) and sounds very nice for a music boz. The twirling lady bugs are unbelievably cute. You've gotta see it in real life!
