LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Cars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Quite possibly the worst of all My First LeapPad titles. Buy Jay Jay or Vroom or Dora instead -- much better efforts. I am stunned at the lack of imagination and creativity on the part of LeapFrog's and Disney's product development staff on this title. This is what you get for your approximately $13 investment: A litany of one-liners from the movie, including "Ka-Ching, ka ka ka ka-chow;" "I swear, tractors is so dumb;" and so on. Other educational tidbits: Your child gets to learn when the first Volkswagen was made (sigh). The list of useless factoids in this product is almost endless. I mean, seriously, people. This is NOT educational. Get off it. Those people that rated this 5 stars have not had to listen to tractors "Moo" or hear Lightning "Ka-Chow" 10,000 times (while in the car)...maybe they should revisit their reviews after 6 months and let us know what they think. It has perhaps one or two worthwhile activities. It is, however, an abomination to sell this product. I was really offended by the "I swear" remark (I do not enjoy having my child repeat this to me and have to explain that it is not a very polite statement). If this is what we have become, then I guess I am wrong and this is a 5 star "educational" product. I would, however, like to think this lame product is an anomaly in the My First LeapPad line.
If we are cared for as customers, this particular incarnation of the Cars My First LeapPad book and cartridge will go the way of the dodo bird, and Pixar and LeapFrog will retool this product into one that is creative and educational. There were so many missed opportunities here to put out an age appropriate science and math teaching tool to the preschool set.
