1978 Fisher-Price "Talk-To-Me" Book

Snow White's Birthday Party is book No.4 in the 1978 Fisher-Price "Talk-To-Me" series. It's a storybook with text and pictures. Yet, it's also a kind of "audio book" too. Every page (excluding endpapers) is embedded with a small plastic record. The reader could use the battery-powered Talk-To-Me player to hear the story. The handheld device was designed to be placed over the disc and when the button was pushed, the audio would play.

Twenty pages (including covers). Spiral-bound hardcover.

A few sample pages.
