This was very difficult for my 6-year-old to read. Not as much fun as some of the other books. Beware of the leap 2's marked "Chapter Book." It requires pointing at each individual word and listening to a somewhat monotone voice. If he could read at this level, he'd probably just pick up a book on his own and read it without the leap pad.

I was very disappointed in this Leap Pad product compared to the others. As far as we can figure out, it won't read the story. The child has to point to the words one at a time. Also, it is seriously lacking in the games that the other Leap Pad books have... I would not recommend it.

My 6 year old is reading at an early third grade level. I got this for her because I heard it was almost all words and I always encourage practicing. She thinks the book is so-so. She likes the story, but she reads it in bed without the help if the leap pad. It is so boring to point to the words and hear it read to you in a voice without emotion. It might be better for my younger daughter who is just learning to read...to see what each word looks and sounds like, but I think it would bore her after a few minutes. as there aren't as many games as the typical leap pad book.

Overall, a good story, but boring to have read to you by the leap pad. It all depends on the reading level of your child!

My son and I were very disappointed in this book. There is no way to have the story read to you. You have to touch each individual word. He usually loves everything Scooby but he has not touched this book since the first time.

My 6 year old daughter has really enjoyed this book (it is recommended for 6 to 8 year olds). She likes the story and the sound effects, as well as the reading comprehension quizzes. A worthwhile LeapPad book to add to your collection.

This book is 56 pages long. My son 4yrs, cannot use it at all. There are other leap 2 books that are approprate for him, such as the Monsters Inc book - but this one is WAY over his head. Be cautious about the content/pictures vs words of the leap 2 books - inconsistant.

My son was really excited to use this book but very dissapointed when the cartridge did not work. To order a new cartridge is more expensive that the entire book cost.
