Gift for my 3 year old grand daughter. Uploading new books to the Tag pen is simple and easy - really well thought out! Was able to do this in minutes without using any instructions at all. Grand daughter literally spends hours using the "pen" to listen to this book and the two others we first got for her. She seems to enjoy just clicking on various pictures to hear what is said and listening to the stories. She has not had much interest in the games, but that will probably come later. We have already purchased and loaded four more books for her. I only wish I had thought of this first!

My 6 year old daughter loves this book! She has the tag pen, so this was a great addition to her Tag books. She will play with it and, not only read the book, but loves to do the 'extra's' that are in the book (like getting a fairy name, touching different objects to hear their sounds, etc.) She has become quite a good reader and I'd have to give some credit to her enthusiasm and interest with the Tag book system! Tinker Bell is one of her favorites!

I'm guessing you know how the Tag system works if you're reading this, so I'm focusing the review on the content of the book rather than the system itself. Go to LeapFrog TAG Reading System - Green (or the purple one or Toy Story one) for device-specific reviews.

This book presents an abridged version of the story from the Tinker Bell movie from 2008. It starts with Tinkerbell arriving in Pixie Hollow, being identified as a tinker, and trying to adopt a different talent so she can go to the mainland (all in the order presented in the Tinkerbell movie). Then she sits down to think and sees part of a music box shining in the leaves, puts it together with other pieces, and realizes that she is a tinker as she assembles the music box (which leaves out the whole thistles issue and conflict with Vidia from the movie, which bothered my daughter in the first read but then didn't faze her). She is surprised when she finds out she can go to the mainland to return the music box. The final line is "Tinker Bell learned an important lesson: Always be true to yourself."

Things I like:
The images are mostly from the movies, which my daughter enjoys
The story is familiar

Things I don't like:
I feel like the whole "be true to yourself" thing is a little overdone, cheesy, and vague; I think they could have used a better, less cliche moral for the story

All in all, it's a good title!

We have two daughters 5 and 2. They each have their own tag pen and both love this book. We were surprised at how much our 2 year old enjoys this book but then again she loves Tinkerbell. Great to have for long road trips! Not a lot of direct educational value but hey, at least the kids are looking at a book instead of watching TV or playing on the computer!

Cady liked the book and she loves her tag stuff...the only problem is they want you to go to the internet all the time to get rewards and that is time consuming and Cady does not care about the rewards that much. She just want to use the tag books.

I purchased this "LeapFrog Tag Activity...." for my 5 year old granddaughter for Christmas. When she opened this gift, her eyes just light up! She was almost speechless - for a 5 year old that incredible.

I was looking to add to my granddaughter's very small collection of books for the Tag system that she had recently received for her birthday. I found these on Amazon and they were perfect! she loves Tinkerbell and the price was absolutely amazing! She loves reading books and can be somewhat independent with this.

This a a nice leapfrog book for a little girl. My stepdaughter plays with it for hours. Its not very educational in the sense of learning about the basics of life, it's fairytale of course thats why. Overall it does its essential function to introduce a child to reading and entertain at the same time.

My little girl loves her tag reader. And of course her latest obsession is Tinkerbell. She loves this story so far. I'm sure it will get lots of use.

This book is great for my daughter but also for me... My daughter can now read her Tinker Bell book without me! This is such a smart and fun book!
