Leap Frog has been wonderful to sponsor the March Madness giveaway blog event...

When I received the Tag Junior Pal, the If I were... sampler board book and the Disney/Pixar Toy Story 3 book in the mail for review I admit, the little girl in me was excited. When I as growing up I remember the most advanced audio options for books were cassette's; technology has come a long way.


The Tag Junior is aged 2-4 but on more than one occasion I woke up to find my older 3 children sitting on the couch using the Tag Junior to read the Toy Story 3 and the If I were...sampler board book. When I asked what they were doing, they said "reading to Baby Girl". "Uh huh, sure your were" was my response. Baby Girl isn't quite one year old yet but I'm a firm believer in reading to children from birth and later having them interact with books at reading time. This method has worked well for not only myself growing up but now that I am a mom, my family. Myself and my 3 older children are all avid readers who read on a daily basis; they can often be found snuggled up with a good book. The Tag Junior Pal only makes it easier for the youngest of children to interact with the books we are reading together.

Although the Tag Junior book pal was a little large for Baby Girl's hand, she could still easily grasp onto the Tag Junior Pal in the palm of her hand and was excited about the sounds she was generating when it came in contact with the books. The If I were...sampler board book audio came already installed on the Tag Junior Pal; all other books audio must be downloaded to the pal from the Leap Frog Connect Application before you can start the audio interaction. At first I thought this seemed harder than it needed to be but it was only because the first download option wasn't working with my laptop. Luckily the 2nd option worked perfectly, the Toy Story 3 audio was surprisingly quickly downloaded to the Tag Junior Pal and we were reading in no time. I found the Connect Application to be very easy to use and found access to some bonus printables.

At first Baby Girl was looking around and lifting the book up to find where the audio was coming from...this was adorable. She quickly realized the sounds were coming from the pictures on the book. The cute books were short enough to keep a little ones attention span. For me, the best part about the Tag Junior is that just by running the pal over an animal, a tree or other various pictures, the audio is played to each associated sound effect. It's playful, it's fun and it kept my little one's attention span. I can guarantee the older Baby Girl gets the more we will enjoy reading many other Leap Frog Tag Junior board books together.

Tag™ Junior Book Pal

A love of books starts long before children can read - and its benefits can last a lifetime.

The Tag Junior book pal is easy for parents and children to use. Parents can download audio for up to five books to the book pal, then let their toddlers explore.

After their child has played, parents can connect the book pal to the online LeapFrog® Learning Path to see their child's progress and get printable activities to expand the learning!
