Richard Scarry's Things to Know is designed for use with the LeapPad early learning system, and is focuses on development of vocabulary, intending to teach young readers how to increase their bank of words and ideas.

Simply slot the book and the special cartridge into the LeapPad, then run the magic pen over the words and images on the pages and watch as children interact as they learn about shapes and sizes, opposites, musical instruments, manners, parts of the body, counting and the seasons.

Even the most reluctant of reader will enjoy learning with LeapPad. (Age 4 to 6 years)--Susan Harrison

a must for your children
Excellent book to learn vocabulary and pronouncination. I have nothing against the american accent although it was refreshing to hear a true english voice. I brought this or my 5 year old as a christmas pressent along with "Monsters Inc" to try it out after reading all the 5 star reviews. I was not disappointed. As being bi lingual I was worried my daughters english was not up to scratch. After only a few weeks she was repeating words that she heard from the leappad and using them in every day speech. That is amazing as normaly she speaks in french. I found that the "say it" and "spell it" features are good to have so she can play on her own. The only thing I would change is the length of the games on each page. I found that it finishes too quickly.

my daughters enjoyment of leapad interactive
Megan thoroughly enjoyed her playtime with the interactive book and also encouraged her little sister to join in so that she could be a teacher! We had interesting conversations each time she had played with it, she was excited and eager to share her findings with us.
