This review is from: LeapFrog LeapPad Educational Book: Disney Princess Stories (Toy)

My daughter received this book with her new pink Leap Pad for her 4th birthday. I thought it would go the way of all her other electronic toys and be played with for a few minutes and then put aside. I was wrong - the Princess activity book has held her attention for several weeks now and she plays with it for 20-25 minutes at a time (an eternity to a 4 year old!). She loves to play the games and especially enjoys when the princesses talk just to her and ask her questions. This has improved both her fine motor skills (pointing to the words in order) and her listening skills. Now we just need the princesses to do a math book too!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for a child wanting to read, November 26, 2003

My 3 1/2 year old has several LeapPad books and likes this one because of the princesses. I think this book would be best for a child who is ready to start reading. My daughter likes to play the games in the book, but isn't really interested in reading the story yet. If your child is ready to focus on the story and read words, this would be a good book. If your child is still learning letters and sounds, I recommend the Phonics Lesson 1 book first, or the other LeapStart books like the math ones (ie. Lots and Lots of Honey Pots).

This review is from: LeapFrog LeapPad Educational Book: Disney Princess Stories (Toy)

I bought this for my neighbors child who is just turned 5 and was needing some extra help in the reading and phonics department. She has always loved all the Disney based characters especially Snow White, Little Mermaid and Princess characters. This book caught her attention right away, she read and played with it through one set of 4 AA batteries and when she read to me a few days later that really sealed the deal for me! I could see that this LF system with its great 'find-the-child-where-they-are-at' in their skills level and go from there approach means that most children can start having small successes right away. This fosters their confidence to want to read and learn more..what more could we ask from a toy!!
