My 5 year old daughter loved this music box. Truly she loved it. The box is small and simple. It captivated her with the gears turning on the inside while she cranked it. I was so delighted to watch her as she sat quietly singing zip a dee do da. I am going to purchase them in different songs for stocking stuffers for all my daughters. I am also going to have them on hand for gifts as they really are a classic, charming toy.
