Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Teacher Review
Produced to be used with My First LeapPad, Thomas and the School Trip is an interactive story and activity book to reinforce first learning concepts and, above all, make learning fun.
The bright illustrations replicate perfectly the Thomas we all know and love from books and the TV, and as youngsters turn each page they are presented with a new activity or a new page from a story. Using the "magic pen" on the First LeapPad, pre-schoolers are encouraged to match shapes, find opposites, identify colours and shapes, match pairs, identify patterns and much more, with Thomas and friends. When they get to the end of the book, they simply turn it around, and start to read the Thomas and the School Trip story, following it word for word, again with the pen.
Sturdy, wipe-clean and visually appealing, the book is the perfect compliment for youngsters who have mastered the book included with the First LeapPad unit. It brings a fresh, innovative and interactive approach to learning traditional, basic skills with the help of a childhood favourite. Pre-schoolers (the book is aimed at children of three years and over) will love to help Percy at the dock, or hurry back with Thomas so he can pick up the children, and they won't even know they're learning. It's all great fun and a lovely way to get pre-readers interested in the written word. --Susan Naylor

This is a very well put together interactive book. It covers a number of development areas such as counting, colours, shapes and even musical notes.
The voice samples are in a British accent which I think is worth pointing out as some of the other interactive books are in an American accent.

This is a new My First LeapPad interactive books and cartridges that I gave my son, since Thomas is his all time favour, he started playing with it right away.It engaged him in activities that develop vocabulary, spelling and phonics awareness. This book is packed with engaging activities, games, stories and facts that make reading and learning more enjoyable.
It is a good investment for me and the book is very much age appropriate for toddlers. Very happy with this purchase!!!

My two-and-half years old boy loves this! Since we speak Mandarin Chinese at home, he does not learn much English from us. But I was pleasantly surprised that he learned a lot of English words a month after he started playing with this book. I now have all the other books for My First Pad since I am so impressed with its educational value. This is the best return I have gotten from money invested in toys. Now I am concentrating my toy money on Leapfrog stuffs. Thank you LeapFrog!

Not as authentic as the disney /nick jr theme books

My 2 1/2 year old loves the Pooh bear book for My First Leap Pad, and the Bear in the Big Blue house/Bob the Builder/Dora the Explorer for the regular leappad. Thats because, those include the several theme songs from the actual videos which he really enjoys. And the actual voices of the TV characters. This does not include the catchy Thomas the Tank engine music which is what he, as a toddler, really loves and associates with Thomas! He is usually singing one of the songs as he plays at his train table. The voices too are not Alec Baldwin or Carlin. So, despite featuring familiar characters, since the musical part of this book is on the whole, not very good, he prefers even the Rhyme book. .... the rhyme book for My First Leappad, is much better than the one for the regular Leappad.
