Vintage 1985 Teddy Ruxpin “The Do-Along Songbook” Talking Book & Cassette Tape Set (Worlds of Wonder)
Step back into the magical world of Grundo or complete your vintage toy collection with this beautifully preserved Teddy Ruxpin "The Do-Along Songbook" Book and Cassette Tape Set (NOT TESTED). Originally released by Worlds of Wonder in 1985, this classic vintage set features a collection of soft, soothing melodies and bedtime stories sung and narrated by Teddy Ruxpin himself (voiced by the legendary Phil Baron).
This standalone educational entertainment set is a phenomenal replacement or upgrade item for collectors who already own the animatronic plush, nostalgia enthusiasts eager to introduce a classic piece of 1980s history to their children, or independent vintage toy retailers looking to add an iconic, high-demand title directly to their store shelves or digital display walls.
What’s Included
1. Official "The Do-Along Songbook" Hardcover Storybook (1985)
A beautiful, fully illustrated hardcover book packed with vibrant, warm, and comforting full-color artwork. The text aligns page-for-page and word-for-word with the cassette audio, providing a highly effective early-childhood reading tool that encourages kids to sing, clap, and read along.
2. Official "The Do-Along Songbook" Animatronic Cassette Tape
The genuine, original Worlds of Wonder multi-track cassette tape. This specialized tape contains the voice and musical audio on one track, and the structural digital data signals on the other track that tell the vintage animatronic Teddy Ruxpin plush exactly how to move his eyes and mouth in perfect synchronization with the music.
