Leap Frog's ABC animal orchestra.
This Tag™ Junior board book springs to life when you touch the Tag Junior book pal to any part of any page. • Introduces the alphabet, music and animals. • Ratta-tat-tat on Cat’s congas and croon with Baboon’s bassoon while exploring the ABCs. • More than 24 playful activities and 150 audio responses encourage little ones to explore while helping build confidence with books. • Parents can follow their child’s play and learning progress on the LeapFrog® Learning Path.  The tag pen allows you to tap a word, letter, or number and it will sound out said object. Children will be able to see something, think about what is being shown and then when they touch the letter "A" (for example) it will sound out the letter and they now know how it sounds. 
 * To adapt this for children with special needs you could have children partner up and show each other how the "tag pen" works and in the process they can show each other sounds and letters. For especially young children have an older person sit with them, turn pages, and touch the pages so they can see what sounds are being shown.
