5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best 'Little Einsteins', August 24, 2007

Unlike some of the "Little Einsteins" books, this one has a story that's easy to follow and its interactive elements blend right into it. As Annie, Quincy and June help Leo search for his magical baton, needed to help melt a late snowstorm so that spring will arrive on time, readers learn what a crocus is and decipher a secret message by writing down the first letter of 18 pictured objects. There's also a song to sing -- "Springtime Serenade" -- to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

My two-year-old son loves the videos of the "Little Einsteins" and although Annie's singing is pretty awful, they're at least entertaining and have nice classical music and art intermingled in the videos. I thought my son would enjoy the books,so I ordered two. I won't be ordering more. I liked the attempt at interactivity, but they need some serious editing. First, they need to pick out a target age level of difficulty and stick to it. If they are going to put in puzzles that require children to sound out words, the words shouldn't contain consonant blends at the beginning of the words. What drove my husband and I craziest about this book was that they had to follow animal tracks and the writer knew nothing about animals or tracks... they called a cartoon dog print a rabbit track, and they even had a rabbit track on the next page...but they called that a deer track. How hard can it be to look it up in a reference. If it's intrinsic to the story, make it real. The sad little story was boring to us.

Bought for my Nephew for Christmas and was really happy with the book- however not so with the seller. My Nephew loves the series and we are super sad that you can't get any of the items from the show other than in bits and pieces.
