These questions and more are presented in the fun and engaging way for which LeapFrog products have become famous. This book does enhance the vocabulary, like other LeapPad books, but the focus in the science series is more about interesting and sometimes amazing facts about animals, geography, and biology. The reader will learn about the characteristics of mammals and the environments in which they live. Large, busy, full-color illustrations adorn each of the book's 20 pages, and the illustrations themselves speak or make sounds when tapped with the pen. Like all LeapPad books, this one features clear, pleasant voices, optional background music, and a range of volume settings.
Babies can easily change songs or sounds by pressing a rounded, heart-shaped pad.
The 14-inch unit has a convenient carrying handle and adjustable straps for easy crib attachment. Best of all, it comes with a remote-control piece that can activate or deactivate sounds from 20 feet away. A small red light flashes as a reminder that power is on.
