This review is from: LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Thomas and the School Trip (Toy)

This is a new My First LeapPad interactive books and cartridges that I gave my son, since Thomas is his all time favour, he started playing with it right away.It engaged him in activities that develop vocabulary, spelling and phonics awareness. This book is packed with engaging activities, games, stories and facts that make reading and learning more enjoyable.
It is a good investment for me and the book is very much age appropriate for toddlers. Very happy with this purchase!!!

My two-and-half years old boy loves this! Since we speak Mandarin Chinese at home, he does not learn much English from us. But I was pleasantly surprised that he learned a lot of English words a month after he started playing with this book. I now have all the other books for My First Pad since I am so impressed with its educational value. This is the best return I have gotten from money invested in toys. Now I am concentrating my toy money on Leapfrog stuffs. Thank you LeapFrog!

This review is from: LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Thomas and the School Trip (Toy)

My 2 1/2 year old loves the Pooh bear book for My First Leap Pad, and the Bear in the Big Blue house/Bob the Builder/Dora the Explorer for the regular leappad. Thats because, those include the several theme songs from the actual videos which he really enjoys. And the actual voices of the TV characters. This does not include the catchy Thomas the Tank engine music which is what he, as a toddler, really loves and associates with Thomas! He is usually singing one of the songs as he plays at his train table. The voices too are not Alec Baldwin or Carlin. So, despite featuring familiar characters, since the musical part of this book is on the whole, not very good, he prefers even the Rhyme book. .... the rhyme book for My First Leappad, is much better than the one for the regular Leappad.
