I purchased this cartridge for my 5 year old because of the great list of skills it said it taught. My daughter and I didn't get past the first 3 minutes of play because we were both shocked that it used the word "Stupid" over and over as well as having the characters argue "did not, did to". I spoke to Leap Frog and they apologized. I am taking it back. If you are ok with your child picking up foul language than this is probably a great educational tool, but if you would like to instil good values in your child do not buy this product.

i bought the game fosters home for imaginary friends for my 6 year old daughter. its rated for 5-8 and K-2 grades. We did not even make it to the actual games. the opening cartoons were terrible displaying behaviors that i punish my children for, i.e. temper tantrums, taking things away from others, and being rude. it also used language we do not allow in our house,i.e. shut up and stupid. the game was terrible avoid it!

My 6 year-old twin boys both got Leapsters for Christmas, and by now have 8 games between them. This is the one they both play the most. Its fun, and like all Leapster games, they learn while having a good time.
