My four year old has this and it really is a great learning tool. There are different levels so it can grow with your child and each book is filled with games and different activities and stories so the learning is fun!

We have found this to be a great resource for our 4 year old. She loves math and science but is unable to read science material that interests her. This allows her to learn her science info and build her reading vocabulary. They also have several classic books and languages. The leap pad is like a book on tape with great illustration and flexibility.
