My First LeapPad Book: Leap to the Moon

Editorial Review
Made just for toddlers, My First LeapPad Book takes care to encourage prereading skills while giving tots a simple, interesting story that makes learning to read a fun first experience. Just stick the included book chip into your child's LeapPad, put the book in place, and the LeapPad takes care of the rest.Leap himself is the main character in this story, adding even more appeal to young readers as he explores the galaxy with his friends. As he goes on his quest, kids learn to comprehend the story's overall meaning, understand specific events, and practice their listening skills. In addition, this book introduces primary math skills--like numbers, counting, and basic geometric shapes. It even sneaks in a bit of deductive logic, emotional exploration, color recognition, object matching, and positions (up, down, in, between, etc.). Flip the book over and there's more fun: over 30 activities and 4 sing-along songs. Note: The book works only with the My First LeapPad Learning System, not more advanced LeapPad systems. --Diane Beall

not as goodTuesday, January 20, 2004
My daughter has 6 leappad books - this is the only one she doesn't like. I am not sure why, but it just isn't as good as the rest!

Not the best My First Leappad bookMonday, December 01, 2003
Our 3 year old does not like this book very much. Colors and shapes are too small. And there is too much other information around those items to make it clear that that is what they are supposed to be learning. It says it is supposed to teach numbers, but it only goes up to 5. If I had to do it over again I would have purchased another Leappad book instead of this one.

Not a good travel toyTuesday, May 06, 2003
I bought this thinking it would be great for travel. We do a lot of car and plane travel. However, the unit is not that well designed and not very robust. The volume for plane "white noise" is just not high enough. A headphone adapter would be a good addition. Also, the ON/OFF button is at a location that a child (or adult) can easily turn the unit off again while it is being used. Because of this, it would be nice to have a light to know if the unit is on, idle, or off. I have had numerous problems with cartridges not being recognized...."This is not a Leap pad cartridge....) And, the sensitivity for the "new page button...the green dot" is frustrating. You can push and push and it won't recognize a new page. It also eats through batteries (this also may be the ON/OFF problem...you don't know if it is ON when you pack it away, or if it gets turned ON in backpack/carry-on, etc.) All, in all...disappointed. It could be a great toy for quiet time on trips, but I won't take it with me any more...I'm too frustrated trying to get it work and then my son becomes upset too!

We Love LeapPad!Friday, November 15, 2002
As with all the LeapPad books, "Leap to the Moon" is wonderful. My 3 year old loves to "read" the book on his own. It has helped with his number recognition and matching pairs especially. There are a couple of great songs he has learned as well.
We are buying a new book and cartridge for him to have on the plane for an upcoming trip. I cannot recommend the LeapPad and it's books highly enough!
