Daughter has read this a million times already
Our preschool daughter already had two other LeapFrog Tag books, so she knew how they worked. She really enjoys this one and has read it many, many times.

Fancy Nancy - Fun For All!
If your little one likes the Fancy Nancy series, she'll love this book for the Tag. The voices are great and the interactive games that test reading comprehension are excellent. It's also a nice reprieve from reading all the other Fancy Nancy books you're used to reading. It doesn't get "old" as quickly as a regular book due to its interactive nature (much like any of the other Tag books), but it's great because she's so popular with my daughter.

This one is a bit more "mature" in terms of reading comprehension. Usually my daughter can answer the game questions on her own easily enough, but with this book the "fancy" words can be a bit challenging for her (she's in Kindergarten) so I see this book lasting us a little bit longer than some of the other, more juvenile books.

Educational and Fun!

Love it!
This is a very sturdy and educational toy. My one yr old would repeatedly drop it but it's still in great shape. I love the feel of the product overall...it feels firm not flimsy. This toy automatically turns itself off when not in use and you have two different volume controls. My 4 yr old also tries to take it and play with it :). The music is fun and engaging....my 1 yr old dances to it:) too cute... All in all I love this...I bought for my 1 yr old for her birthday.

My daughter's favorite
We had actually never read Olivia until we got it as a Tag book. What a delightful story! I like that the narrator encourages the kids to be active and dance and sing along with Olivia.

Too difficult for younger kids, not interesting for older kids
Okay, we own a lot of Leapster cartridges. My kids may have tried this out, but they haven't played it much at all.

There are 5 characters, each one associated with a different game. Each game has two levels. In addition to the basic games I describe, there are bonus rounds:

Mr. Incredible: Solve the addition and multiplication problems. The answers are on the heads of a statue. Choose the statue with the correct answer and push or pull it into position. Level 1: The addition problems feature serial addition of three single digit numbers. Level 2: The multiplication problems feature single digit multiplication of two single digit numbers.

Mrs. Incredible: Doors open and close revealing letters to a word. Grab the letters to spell a word before the door closes. They must be grabbed in the correct order. Level 1: The words are about five or six letters long. Level 2: The words are about the same length as Level 1, but they are more difficult to spell because they do not follow the basic phonics rules.

Dash: Pick up blocks to build the correct number. For example, if the number is 605, pick up blocks 600 and 5, put the 600 in the hundreds place and the 5 in the ones place. Level 1: The numbers are three digits long. Level 2: The numbers are four digits long.

Violet: Violet has to find the part of speech in the maze that completes the sentence. Level 1: This level focuses on finding the nouns. An example is "Find the noun that completes the sentence." The sentence is "The ___ throws a robot," and the choices are "ran," "happy," "enemy." Level 2: Find adjectives to complete the sentence.

Syndrome: Help navigate the Incredibles family work together to get through the jungle. Must use some logic, like use Mr. Incredible's strength to move rocks or Mrs. Incredible's stretch to reach across a chasm.

Summary: The games are not bad and they are very educational. The problem I think is The Incredibles appeals to a younger audience, maybe preschool level, and the skills it requires are first through third grade level. They were too difficult for my kids when I bought the cartridge, still too difficult for my now 5 year old; but The Incredibles is considered too babyish by my 7 year old who could now play the games.
