4.0 out of 5 stars I disagree about educational value, kids learn by practice!, November 6, 2007

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I am responding to the orginal reviewer who stated the leappad books are "fluff", not so! says i.

No, they are not a replacement for true one on one teaching time, but to get your kids interested in learning in the first place, its got to be a little fun! I dont own this exact book, but many of the other titles. I feel the simple experience of opening a book, looking at the photos, and hearing sounds, the stories being read to you, and seeing colors, identifing them..so important! If the kids will sit down on their own and spend 15 minutes a day doing this, it helps!

My son really developed an interest in reading when he started looking at these books. In my opinion, is better than staring at a"learning" dvd for 2 hours. They have to participate in the books. Some of the titles are more educational than others. Weve got a music book that has instruments for them to play on, hear, it plays classical selections from Bach and Beethoven. The math book has them counting right away, also identifying shapes for geometry.

As for saying these books are good for "ADD" children, well that might be true, however, i never felt they overstimulated my kids, just with sounds and music its more lively.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, February 5, 2007

By	Jennifer A. Bush - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Parents who judge education systems/software by ability to keep the attention of today's ADD children regardless of actual educational content may like this. They'll be the only ones though since there is no educational content. "I love birthday parties, yeah" - "They're here, let the party begin" - "oink oink". This is all we here from these machines when we use them, which isn't often. Kids click on the pictures to elicit related and often unrelated noises - that is it. There is little actual phonics training. The phonics "games" only ask about one softball question per minute surrounded by a lot of ADD attention getting fluff. These are entertainment systems, not educational systems. We should note that the Leapfrog brand DVDs we have are not like the Leappads at all. The DVDs are very good. The Leappads are worthless.
