Great book!

2006-11-04
This book is great, especially if your kids like Lion King. My twin girls like the books with characters they like the best. Nemo is another of their favorites, but it is level 1 (not much harder than this one, though). This book is lots of fun and educational. My girls enjoyed it most and got the most out of it at the age of 4, but at 5 1/2, they still love it. It teaches lots of pre-reading skills and math skills. There is a game where you have to find the animal that starts with a certain letter sound, which is a very important pre-reading skill. There is rhyming, which is also pre-reading. There are games with size comparisons and using process of elimination. Listening skills are used A LOT in this book as well. Some of the games are easier than others, which makes it a great book for lots of ages. I would recommend it for as young as age 3 if you are helping them with it. I think My First Leap Pad is better for younger than that. Of course, it ties in to the movie beautifully. Leap pad books are so versatile -- use them for fun, learning games, or just reading along! We haven't purchased any I didn't like, though my kids like the character ones best (Nemo, Pooh, Monsters, Inc, etc...).

Good fun

This leappad book is just the right choice for any kid who is a Lion King fan. It has some very easy games, and some interesting stuff. But I am not sure if it is actually a tool for "pre-reading" as they advertise it to be. It is just good fun.

Great book

Bought this for one of my 4-yr old twins. He loves it. I like it because it has many levels of play. He can start now by simply pointing at the different pictures and hearing sounds and facts, etc. Later, or now with my help, he can play the games on the same pages (a higher level of skill). He laughs and laughs and really enjoys it.

Alex got this for Christmas and absolutely loves it! This is neck and neck w/Finding Nemo as his favorite LeapPad book.

Suggestions and Great reviews!!!

The leap Pad and its books have been wonderful for my children. I do have a few ideas for improvements like putting all the leap pad books into a holder like what the "Smart guides" are sold in and also that the books need to be more durable (like wipeable pages and more durable pages for the preschoolers). Also there needs to be more of the characters that the preschoolers like ( dora the explorer, blues clues, mickey, monsters Inc, sesame street, george shrinks, bearstrain bears, dragon tales, more bible stories, etc).

A great tie-in to the movie...

	Dr. Toy's Smart Play . How To Raise A Child With a High PQ Play Quotient Review: "...Play is the work of the young. Through play, children grow -- physically, emotionally and cognitively. "Dr. Toy," Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., helps readers to find the toys and playthings that will best advance this growth. This comprehensive book demonstrates a deep understanding of the different needs children have at every phase of their development and provides specific guidelines for choosing toys, computer software, musical instruments and a host of other items children can play with.. "
	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
