My son is 4 years old and if your child likes Bob the Builder, he will definately enjoy this leap pad book. It teaches a little bit of everything and he enjoys the book from front to back. It is definately one of the better leap pad books.

My son is 4 and he loves this Bob book. He prefers it to his Bob videos since he is playing with the characters as he reads the book. It's wonderful that Leap Frog makes books that go beyond teaching ABC's for kids because there are so many important things they need to learn, and this book has loads of them (bigger vocabulary, comprehension, numbers, shapes to name a few). As a former teacher, I highly recommend this book for the entertainment AND education.

My son received his leap pad last Christmas. He discovered Bob the Builder this summer. Put the two together and you have the happiest 2 1/2 year old around. He loves the games, especially the musical ones, and has really learned his shapes and sharpened his thinking skills because of this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Don't think that your child is too young for these products. Even if you have to hold the pen for them, they are fascinated by the bright books and music. My son has defintely benefited from these products.

This is a great leap pad book. My 4 yr old son loved it instantly. The familiar characters from the Bob the Builder show make this book lots more fun than the ones featuring the Frog. I especially liked the fact that this book helps to teach that teasing is not a nice thing to do. There are at least 2 games on every page and it has the music from the show also. It is definitely worth the price and I hope they make more Bob the Builder books for the Leap Pad.

This is a great book if you have Bob fans in the house. The only concern that we had with it is that it does teach insecurity through Lofty. Saying things like, "I'm not any good for anything," really doesn't do much for the self esteem in a child. As a teacher, my husband was quite concerned about comments such as those stressed by Lofty throughout the book. We also didn't like hearing Spud saying, "nay, nay nay nay nay" -not something you want to hear repeated by a three-year-old. Anyway, my son loves this book and plays with it throughout the day, almost daily. I just wish I could edit out those things that are insecurities and it would be a great book. Whenever Lofty says that he can't do something, my son says, "yes you can!" So, keep that in mind before buying the book. You're going to have to explain a few things as the story goes along. They really need to make more of these books with characters such as Bob. They're a bunch of fun and the music/voices are the same as the show.

Getting boys especially to enjoy reading can be difficult! This is a great early start to getting a little one to begin reading! My Gransdsons and I had fun with it! :)
