INTRODUCTION
Hello! It’s nice to meet you! I am VTECH®’s Me-Mo-Mo™. I have come to Earth
to learn about your world, language and people – I am so happy to meet a good
friend like you! At first, I may have trouble speaking English, but the more you play
with me, the more I will learn! I also want to learn the alphabet and numbers –
will you help me?
You can see that I am happy when I shake and when my antennae blink. But
sometimes, I get sleepy, fall asleep and dream. Don’t tell anyone that I snore! That
will be our secret.
I know 25 learning activities and games to play with you. Sometimes, I really want
to show you something I am learning, and I will guide you through the questions
in Me-Mo-Mo™ Mode (that’s me!). But if you want to show me how much you
are learning, just press the Activity Mode button and you can select the activities.
I just can’t wait to play with you!
