Filled with fun stories, games and learning activities, this My First LeapPad Book encourages pre-reading and math skills. Your little one will follow the story as Leap and his friends are off on a rocket ship to the moon. Then, they can flip the book over to count lucky stars, find a place in space, solve the mystery of the moon meal and play the number galaxy! Teaches color and shape recognition using stars and planets, number recognition and counting groups from 1-5, visual discrimination and memory, listening and rhyming skills and sound matching and music fun. For use with the My First LeapPad Learning System (sold separately). Imported.

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
