LeapFrog Tag Junior Book Pal (Green)

Bought this for my 2 year old as his 'big' present for christmas and he loves it.Admittedly he does love to press the buttons on the tag for a little while before he gets down to using the books but this is the nature of a naturally curious toddler. At the moment he loves exploring his books via the sounds the pictures make (eg: a train whistle in the thomas book) using the tag instead of listening to the paragraphs but this will come with time and I knew buying it that it would be a toy he would grow and develop with.Its a lovely medium for encouraging children to read more or even if your toddler has started to skip his day time nap its a great way of letting them have some peaceful rest time. Sit them on a bean bag with a tag junior and it tricks them into having some rest for half an hour.Another great learn and grow toy by leapfrog which helps make reading even more fun :)

By itself it does nothing. You need this toy if you are using tag junior books. It connects to the Internet and downloads audio for the books you buy. You need it or else you are just buying very expensive books. The device, once you download what it needs, helps you to read the books and hear all the sounds. It also tracks what the child is doing and gives you updates and progress reports if you sign on to view them. They let you know what the child has clicked on the most, etc.As far as I can tell the items does not turn off by itself. It is easily turned on and off repeatedly by clumsly little hands.It seems to be well made, requires batteries which can run out quickly if it isn't turned off.So far it has held up to multiple drops on hard floors. Here's to hoping that continues!!

I love this, I struggle to hold books to read to my child, so this was great, not just to help with that but it also gave him some independence to be able to read himself as well as teach him letters, numbers and related sounds etc. You can also program it to say their name, so when you switch it on it speaks to them.

Disappointed as expecting the reader toy!

Purchased for my nephew, I could also programme his name so once it starts up it say's his name. Got a free book with it which was a bonus, but great product and easy to use.

Brilliant learning toy, loved by kids, all the pictures make differt sounds and noises, great fun and great for learning

I found this a very good educational product although a little dissapointed with the books, they are expensive ,my granddaughter played with the book for 3 minutes so not such good value for money . You will need to spend lots to gain a good library of interactive books.Good concept but a bit costly.

After a lot of investigation on what to buy tag junior vs normal tag, i bought tag normal for my 26 mos old. I thought tag junior is a big waste of money coz it cant save more than 5 books and cant read all the books but i had unfortunately overlooked one thing and that is the motor functioning of a 2 yr old. it was not so easy for him to hold the pen. As he loved to read he struggled with the pen by changing hands, holding up, down ,sliding but it just tired him after minutes. I knew after a week of trying that i had to get the junior, no matter, it lacks a lot of advantage.for me the best thing to get from a toy was to see my child using it to the max. Now after i got this, he is happily playing with it. Wish i hadnt bought the senior tag too early because i fear by the time i can use the pen tag,in 1.5 to 2 yrs time, it will be replaced by new gadgets and go to waste!
