5.0 out of 5 stars Must Buy, January 8, 2002

By	Susan Hevener (Virginia) - 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 

This book is a must buy if you own the LeapPad - the Nutcracker page alone is worth the cost of the book & the leappad!!! I have 3 daughters - ages 2, 4, and 6 and out of all the LeapPad books I have bought them --- they all spend more time on this one page then any other book. It has a wonderful game where the book plays part of the music from the ballet and you have to decide which dancer the music was written for --- even my 2 year old will sit and play this one game over and over. I never would have believed a 2 year old would know that this music belonged to the Chinese dancers, or the SugarPlum Princess, or etc. but she is really getting good at it. Other cool pages include info on other composers and on many different instruments --- this book is a must buy!

This is a great interactive, interesting and fun book for the leap pad. My five year old son loves it, and even uses it on long car trips. It's something he can do by himself, it's also fun to share with adults. He has learned to identify all kinds of classical music, to my amazement. I find this book much better than some of the other leap pad reading books, because there's so much too it. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to Music!, August 27, 2002

Based on the reviews here I decided to buy this for my 3 year old and see what he thought. Although designed for older kids, he LOVES this book. He's able to recognize intruments in contemporary music and really enjoys the different music styles he's exploring in this book. He tells me if a song he selects is scary or funny or silly. This book is allowing him to appreciate the many forms of music and I see its impact when we listen to music on the stereo or radio. A great buy!
