Product Description

Snap this interactive book and cartridge into the LeapPad system and your child will begin learning valuable reading and math skills at the kindergarten-to-first-grade level. This new addition to the LeapFrog library features characters and storylines from the popular Disney movie, Cars. Kids will explore the book with Lightning McQueen and friends and unwittingly practice reading comprehension, spelling, parts of speech, short vowels, comparison and contrast, skip counting, deductive reasoning, and addition through fun activities. For example, kids help McQueen make it across the finish line by spelling three-letter words in one exercise. In another, kids solve simple equations to guide McQueen through the numbered streets of Radiator Springs. This title—and other in the series—are a wonderful way to build on emerging kindergarten skills. --Cristina Vaamonde

This book is great! My son loves it! He is obsessed with Cars so this was a no-brainer to buy. The games inside it have helped him not only with his numbers, but also sequencing and drawing within lines. He plays this for hours! The only complaint I have with LeapPad books is that they are really easy to crease/fold. When he turns the pages, he tends to fold or wrinkle them. Otherwise, a game I totally recommend!

I have a daughter that will be going into Kindergarten next year. My wife and I bought her a LeapPad and two software modules for it for Christmas last year thinking it would help her get a bit of a head start before starting school.

While my daughter doesn't play with this on her own, she likes using this software with me or my wife. It seems like she is introducing us to characters she liked in Cars and all the things they can do in this software.

By allowing her to "show us around", she has learned quite a bit from this software. She seems to have fun with it as a kid, and the fact that she is learning is very satisfying for me as a parent.

I think LeapPad has done a good job here.

Purchased for our 3 yr old Grandson and, as usual, you can't beat the leap pad system for being both fun and a good learning toy.
