Of all the First LeapPad books to buy, make this the last one on your list. My daughter has NO interest in this one whatsoever! <br /> <br /> ( I have two friends who have said the same thing. )

We bought this book for our daughter because she loves all the characters associated with Winnie the Pooh. We quickly discovered what others have noted, namely, it is rather slow-paced when compared to My First LeapPad's other books. The songs are slower, as is the story, and the activities are much more laid-back.

So while it doesn't hold our daughter's attention for long at normal times, we found it good for slowing down the pace on rainy days or just before bedtime. Which she has not learned as much from this book as from the others, the slower pace seems to have a calming effect on her, which as any parent of a four year-old will attest, can be a blessing.

I think the LEAP system is fantastic and wholeheartedly applaud the designer and company. I think many, many families will find the My First Leap System very useful and helpful. It's also so nice to find a product that does not have unbearably loud volume settings!!

We and our daughter also are fans of Winnie the Pooh. SO disapointing, then, that THIS book/cartridge are so poorly done. Many 2-year olds will find this boring and it is designed for 3-4 year olds. THIS set teaches very little and is not interesting (boring). They could have done so much with a POOH theme!! Don't waste your time with this one.

It teaches colors, shapes, story comprehension, matching, listening skills.

This book and cartridge has 30 fun-filled activities and 5 songs in a two-in-one flip book. The story side helps to develop reading skills with stories that come to life through words, music, and sound effects. The activity side has interactive games, songs, and activities. My 2 year old loves it all!

I actually maybe would give this an average of 4 on each aspect, but I feel that I must make up for the other 2 that had to leave bad reviews just because they bought the book without understanding the Leap Pad system.

On some of the pages, the items that the child is to choose are small and if the child doesn't pick "just the right spot" on the item it tells them they got it wrong even if its right. Very frustrating for tiny hands just learning hand coordination skills, Overall the games are pretty fun, however,I don't really feel that several of the pages are educational at all, but still fun for kids just getting started in the leapfrog system.
My daughter loves the books and has gotten quite good and remembering to touch the "go" button when flipping pages to make the sounds go with the pages you are looking at.
