This review is from: LeapFrog LeapPad Educational Book: Finding Nemo (Toy)

I bought this for a three year old, already owning several other leappad books. This is the first one I sat down with her and did. It has 23 pages to it, with 11 games to do. Each page has about 3 or 4 lines of the Nemo story to go with it. The variety of activities of the pages are nice too. Finding the animal they are talking about, i.e. which one has no bones? Jumping on certain jellyfish by listening to their description. Making music on the turtles Those are some of the games, I don't even think we played them all yet. It follows the movie story, although obviously much abbreviated. I thought it was quite entertaining and it takes time to do the whole book if you put the pen on everything you can. After about 10 minutes, my daughter started looking around for other things to do, but I know it wasn't because of the quality of the book. YOu know how sometimes you buy something and afterwards you kind of regret it, but I didn't feel that with this book as I think it can be enjoyed many times, even by an older child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Yet, November 30, 2003

This review is from: LeapFrog LeapPad Educational Book: Finding Nemo (Toy)

This is the best reading adventure yet from Leapfrog. It contains an abbreviated Nemo story, but includes science facts too. Your child will learn all about plants and animals that live around a reef. The facts presented are easy for a child to remember. My daughter (4.5 years) owns a number of Leapfrog reading books. This is by far the most played with and the one that has impressed me the most.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Nemo Lovers of all Ages, January 5, 2004

This review is from: LeapFrog LeapPad Educational Book: Finding Nemo (Toy)

I got this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter as an intro into her big brothers Leap Pad system. She adores Nemo, and this is the only Leap Pad book that will hold her attention. She can sit with it for about 30 minutes, which is a lifetime for a 2 year old. The picutes are cute, drawings, not the computer generated pictures of the movie. The story is very abbreviated, but hits most of the points. The voices are good, though Albert Brooks is noticebly missing as Marlin. The games are not great, but the educational value is high, for learning about the ocean and its inhabitants. I would recommend this book to anyone with a Nemo Lover or anyone interested in fish and the ocean.
