Foster a lifelong love for reading at an early age with the LeapFrog Tag Junior Reading system. This unique reading system encourages toddlers to engage with books through music, appealing sound effects, and open-ended questions. Designed for toddlers ages two through four, the LeapFrog Tag Junior Reading system uses the touch technology to allow toddlers to interact and explore the pages of the book with a touch of the Tag Junior Book Pal. Each Tag Junior Activity book teaches a different age-appropriate skill such as sharing, counting numbers, or learning the alphabet. The Tag Junior Reading system includes one board book, and the Tag Junior Book Pal can hold audio for up to five books.  | Tag Junior Book Pal (Purple) Ages: 2 to 4 years

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. One drawback: 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. However, the download process is straightforward and the additional resources on the LeapFrog connect site are well worth it. What's in the Box
One LeapFrog Junior Book Pal, one Leap Frog Tag Junior book, Instruction book, USB cable.

 Good in theory but just "ok" June 25, 2010
Angela G. Hubbard (Virginia)
My daughter LOVES to read! She always has a book in hand and has been that way since she a baby. We got this for her when she was 21 months old and she seemed more interested in turning it off and on then pressing it to the books. I took it away for a few months and gave it to her again at 24 months, same thing happened. Tried again last month at 27 months and she's not not into this. She's more into the device itself then what it could do. I had hoped she could use it on car trips but would rather read a regular book then use this.
 Absolutely love it! I RECOMMEND!! February 14, 2010

I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday, she opened it last night and hasn't put it down. I absolutely love the fact that it says her name when she turns it on and off, also that you can have more than one book on it at a time because she keeps going between them. It's very durable for a toddler, sturdy build. The fact that you have to take the back off to plug it into the computer is kind of a nuisance, but it's super easy, I just use a butter knife; it's also very smart because we all know that kids get things dirty and if it were exposed it probably wouldn't work after while. I wish they would have had the tag pals out sooner and I would have bought them for her as an infant. I would completely recommend this to others, great learning tool for toddlers!!!!
Great product for toddlers who love Books! February 9, 2010

I bought this toy for my granddaughter for Christmas at Amazon after shopping at MANY stores. I found the price of the toy even including shipping was less than at any other store. It arrived in mere days and my granddaughter has had many hours of playing with this toy all ready.
good in theory January 30, 2010

We got this toy as a "new trip toy" for our 2 year old daughter. It seemed like a great toy in theory. Encourage a love for reading and books in a toy that is compact and easy to take along... She played with it a few times on the trip, but that was about it. She likes books in general, but likes it even more when she sits in my lap so I can read to her. I know it is geared toward toddlers, but maybe it is too soon to spark a real interest in this toy, or maybe she just knows she can usually get me to read to her instead. Had I known it was not going to be a big hit, I probably would have passed on this toy. But every child is different and you don't know until you try.
