Editorial Review

"Rut-roh!" There's nothing more frightening to Scooby-Doo than losing his munchies. Kids can help him and his human companions figure out a culinary mystery using LeapPad's multisensory, experiential learning interface. In Scooby-Doo and the Disappearing Donuts, kids see, hear, say, and touch throughout the book, making it easier to retain and enhance oral, vocabulary, and phonics skills while developing concrete reading-comprehension skills.

It's simple to use (just insert the cartridge and book into a LeapPad, and use the attached stylus to hear information), but this system is an innovative technology that provides entertaining, effective learning, designed by a Stanford-trained reading expert. As well, the system has been credited with the TMA's Educational Toy of the Year and People's Choice awards.

Two notes: Make sure the LeapPad book you get is appropriate for the child's educational level; this one should be a challenge for kids up to age 6. As well, know that some LeapBooks work on both LeapPad and LeapPad Pro, like this one, but some books only work with one system. --Diane Beall

I recently ordered this book for my son who is 4. With the leap pad books your child can learn the basics and phonics and soon be reading on their own. In just a few weeks he has learned to sound out letters and a few words in the book. Of course, Scooby will keep your interest over and over again. This is a great beginning for your pre-schooler. Also check out the other leap pad products available for all age groups.

My Kindergartener loves this book more than any other in his Leap Pad Library. Santa brought it this year and he loves it. I love it because it encourages more Leap pad play because it is a character he loves.

This review is from: First Grade LeapPad Book: Scooby-Doo and the Disappearing Donuts (Toy)

Well, we got our 4 year old son a leap pad this Christams and one of the books he likes the best is this Scooby Doo one. The first time through, he just let it read the story. Now he likes to go back and play the games on each page, find the hidden paw prints, and even just explore the pages with the pen.

At first I was not really impressed with it, but it does keep his intrest. I've come to realize the games are very educational and the book is geared for 4-5 year olds.

I'm not so sure Scooby and the gang are the best to teach grammar with Shaggy using terms like "Zoinks" and "Like Wow Man", and poor scooby with his speach impediment. Now when my son eats dinner, he says it is "Rummy" and when he spills something, it is "rhut rho".
