The Capitol Record Company's Record-Reader is a Talking Toy Hall of Fame member for its multimedia use of text, graphics and recorded sounds. Children listened and waited for their signal to turn the page, reading the words and listening to the exciting adventures. Records provided "talking animals", "thrilling music" and exciting "sound effects". As a representative of these Record-Readers, "Bozo at the Circus" was selected, both for the theme of the book/record and because of Bozo's popularity in the mid-20th century.
