Fun, Easy-to-hold Design
The LeapFrog Tag Junior Book Pal's quirky shape and animal-like appearance attracts a toddler's attention. The large knob design makes it easy for toddlers to hold it in their tiny hands. With its durable exterior, the Book Pal can withstand a toddler's rambunctious use over many years and is easy to clean with a damp cloth. The Book Pal's optical reader is cleverly tucked into the bottom portion so that fingers cannot touch the sensor. And it's simple to dust using a cotton swab. The batteries and USB port are safely stored behind a compartment that closes securely with a screw. An additional safety feature is the battery guard strap that firmly holds the batteries in place. A volume control button with low or high settings is located above the speakers on the front side of the Book Pal, while a conveniently placed on/off button is on the side. The speakers provide good, clear sound with little distortion. As a battery-saving feature, the Book Pal will turn off automatically after a period of inactivity. The Tag Junior Reading system comes with one Activity Storybook. Its colorful illustrations and interesting narrative will appeal to young children while the thick, durable board book construction is made to last. Advice for parents: keep food and beverages away from Tag Junior Book Pal as any spills could cause it to malfunction. Exploration with Every Touch
The Tag Junior Reading System can engage toddlers for hours. By simply touching the Book Pal to a Tag Junior Book, children hear one of 130 responses or 24 book-based play activities. The responses can be songs, interesting sound effects, open-ended questions, amusing sentences, or reading aloud the text. Children can spend hours playing and exploring the different responses on every corner of the book. In many cases, they'll hear different responses when they touches the same spot in a book. The variety and randomness of the responses will keep their interest and initiate exploring the book over and over again. Store up to Five Books
It's easy to use the LeapFrog Connect application that allows you to download audio to the Tag Junior Book Pal by connecting the USB cable (included) to a computer. Each book is centered on an important skill for toddlers to learn. Parents can print activity sheets, such as coloring pages, from the LeapFrog Connect site for additional activities and learning. You can also personalize the Tag Junior Reading System with your child's name so the Book Pal will incorporate his/her name into its greeting and farewell phrases. In order to download the Book Pal's audio feature, you will need a computer that has 256MB of RAM and 300MB of free disk space. The download process is straightforward and the additional resources on the LeapFrog connect site are well worth it. What's in the Box

Summary : Nice addition to book/toy collection
This is a good addition to an already existing collection of books and toys. My twin boys (2.5 years old) enjoy this product and often ask for their "talking books." I don't know about Mac users, but this was a cinch to set up for a PC user and my guys love that it calls them by name. They go through spurts of wanting it often and forgetting it exists, and still prefer their old school books. I suppose they are educational in the sense that it asks a child questions and they have to find the answers, and my boys will also repeat the words and songs they hear so I think it helps broaden their vocabulary. Otherwise, I think it's mostly just fun for them right now. I'm happy we purchased them, we continue to add new books to our collection, and I would recommend it to other parents.

Summary : Best buy I've made!
We really wanted to try this toy so we investigated the reviews and were excited to buy it. It is all the hype and more. My is 3 and figured it out VERY quickly. He loves books and now he is enthralled with the Leapfrog Jr. He loves that it tells you everything going on on the page and has songs he enjoys. It is really durable and easy to download books to. He reads his books over and over and gets into the characters and songs!
My ONLY gripe is that it only holds 5 books worth of memory. I know eventually he will grow bored of the books, but I was hoping we could download more than that. For the cost of the books, it seems that there should be more memory to store them. But otherwise, I couldn't be happier with my purchase!
