4.0 out of 5 stars More Books in the Making for My First LeapPad, November 30, 2001

By A Customer

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

My daughter will soon be 2 years old and was playing with this item in the store. She seemed to love it so I just purchased it for a Christmas gift.

I noticed thru the Leap Frog company, that at the present time, they only have 2 additional books you can buy for it. This did have me somewhat concerned. I was not going to purchase this item if you can only use a total of three books. I would have went to the next size LeapPad. I then sent them an email and people should be happy to know that they are in the process of making more books and they will be out in the first quarter of 2002.

I hope this information is helpful to current and future owners of the My First LeapPad.

5.0 out of 5 stars My First Leappad excellent for children under 3!, October 22, 2002

By	"kate716" (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I know there has been much written about this product, but I also want to stress how great this toy is. Every time I would go to the toy store with my 1 1/2 year old daughter, she insisted on playing with the LeapPad (the one for ages 4yrs and up). She would scream if I took her away from it. So, for Christmas, I gave her the My First Leappad. I thought I'd give it a try, even though it was recommended for ages 3 and up -- well over her age. It is definitely the best product I have ever bought! She is now 2 1/2 years old and it is still one of her absolute favorite toys. We take it every time we travel (air, car, everything!) She is proficient at all of her letters, numbers, shapes, and colors - and even though she's done every page of all of the books we have that go with it, she never seems to tire of it. This is a truly great product -- educational and fun! I highly highly recommend it -- even if your child isn't 3 years old yet! You won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars My First Leap Pad, October 26, 2001

By	Dylan J. Johnson "Professional Silly Person" (Marlton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

My 3 year old loves his "My First Leap Pad". It is the only educational toy (I don't consider playing on Daddy's computer a toy) that he plays with. As a matter of fact, it's the only toy that isn't Power Rangers or Bob the Builder that he plays with every day. He's learning how to read because of using this toy, when previously he showed little interest.

However ... I have not been able to find ANY supplemental books for "My First Leap Pad" and that is a MAJOR disappointment ... you may just want to skip the "My First Leap Pad" and plunk down the extra money for regular Leap Pad ... Looks like I'm going to have to ...
