Editorial Review

LeapPad system's unique, multisensory interface already allows kids to enhance reading skills without making it seem like work. But this book has the added attraction of featuring those creepy (but, oddly, cuddly) creatures from the blockbuster movie Monsters, Inc. While top scarers Sulley and Mike figure out that kids are fun, not fearsome, children will exercise reading comprehension, retention, and concrete/deductive thinking. They'll also enhance their vocabularies and grammar skills along the way.

It's simple to use (kids insert the cartridge and book into their LeapPads, 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. The books are designed to correlate with national academic standards for the grade levels they target.

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 8. 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

We gave my daughter the LeapPad Pro for her 7th Birthday.
Her favorite book is the Monsters Inc. There is reading, as
well as games to play. Lots of fun and learning!

Monsters, Inc. was a big hit with our family, so I had to pick this book up for my 4 year old daughter (even though it's recommended for 6-8). She loves this, and wants to play with it every day. A few of the games are hard for her, but mostly, it's no problem. She is a good reader, so the reading part is fine.

My 7 year old son received a Leap Pad for Christmas. He received the Monsters, Inc. book for his Birthday. He spends hours with this book. Within a couple weeks he already had most of the words memorized. His reading improves everyday.
