Just open the LeapPad, place a LeapPad book inside, then touch "Go" with the magic interactive pen to start playing and learning, or touch the red circles to record your voice. Comes with 2 LeadPad books and volume control. For ages 4 to 8 years or pre-kindergarten to 2nd grade. Imported.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny., April 6, 2005

Bought this for my 3 year old daughter who gets a new toy just about every other day. As a result, she is really spoiled and will typically discard her old toys for the latest present. Not so with the Leappad. She loves it! It really is neat. The books that come with it are great -- one asks you questions, like your name, favorite food, favorite color, etc.; you talk into the microphone; and then it uses your responses throughout the story. The other book is about a frog (the Leapfrog?) and it has a story and games -- like rhyming games -- and helps out with your letters (something she is very into right now). She also has a PowerTouch system, and while she will tote that out from time to time to play a song from Blues Clues or Elmo, she never had much interest. I have a feeling this is something that she's not going to lose interest in or outgrow too quickly. A steal for $20!

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST TOY MONEY CAN BUY!, January 11, 2005

This is by far the BEST toy I purchased for my children this Christmas. I actually purchased it in exchange for the InteracTV that I was very disappointed in. Boy am I glad I did. All four of my children, ages 2, 3, 8, and 11, have fun playing with this Leap Pad. And I love that it will last them for years, and is also compatible with the Quantum books.
I bought my 11 year old his first Leap Pad when he was 5, and paid over $50 for it, but he used it for years. The Leapfrog company even sent me a new stylus when the original no longer worked. Unfortunately, after years of being banged around, our old leap pad now doesn't read cartridges, and I decided to purchase a new one. This particular Leap Pad with Microphone is worth every penny! When your child points to a red dot, it asks a question like, "What is your name?" "What is your favorite food?" "how old are you?", etc etc... and incorporates your child voice into the story. Easy enough for my 2 year old, but fun enough for even me! I'm so glad I returned the InteracTV and bought this instead. (Same price at my local Toys R Us!)

This review is from: LeapPad with Microphone (Toy)

This is a DEFINATE MUST HAVE! My kids LOVE the fact that they can hear their voices reading what is written.... I have bought like 3 additional microphone abled books. They are a BIG HIT in this house hold. We buy lots of leap frog products, and this one is my children's favorite. They could play and play and play.... I love the fact that they like this item so much! It is suppose to help with fluency and it does, my daughter absolutely loves reading and is doing wonderfully with this item.... To give you an idea what products we have from leap frog: My first leap pad, original leap pad, leap pad with microphone, and quantum, and the leap pad plus writing, turbo twist, spelling and a brain twist one, 2 leapsters which my kids love too! 40 some leap frog books......imagination desk, leap frog princess computer....This one is my families FAVORITE other than the leapster! Hope they come out with more microphone type books...A+++ leap frog! Keep up the AWESOME job!!!! :)
