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. 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. 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.

 Toddler son loves it! August 22, 2010

I bought Tag Junior about 8 months ago and my soon to be 3 year old son has loved it. We have all the books for it. It has been worth every penny in my book. I like how the system has my son interact with the books in a simple way. All these interactive reading systems are so complex and too hyperactive in my opinion. This system is simple and allows my son to be more in control of the experience without being overwhelmed with too many bells and whistles. My son loves how it says his name when it comes on and before it shuts down. I also like how sturdy Tag is and the books. Once he has outgrown it I look forward to passing it all down to someone else to enjoy.
My only complaints are that the Tag Junior memory is very low. I wish it could store all the audio files for the books at once. Some of the books are not as good as others (i.e. Pooh, Curious George, and Cars are all a bit lame).
 Hours wasted on installation and still not working... August 21, 2010

My husband is very computer literate but was not able to download book audio after several hours of trying. I am very frustrated and disappointed with this toy as it was not cheap (including all the books we purchased), required a major time commitment and ultimately failed to work. I really wanted this toy but I have to admit it just not worth the trouble.
Awesome! August 4, 2010

My son just got this for his second birthday and he LOVES it! He loves all books, actually, and he was very excited when he opened his new books. He was REALLY excited when he discovered that his new books talked! He was using the Tag reader by himself within minutes. He prefers an adult to sit next to him and use the Tag reader while he points, but he has been content reading by himself with it, as well. I was able to download several books, sync them to the Tag, and program it to say my son's name easily, too.

It has a snowman shape which I think is safe for my 2 year old daughter.
She seems to like playing w/ those leapfrog books.
Somewhat hard to replace 2AAA baterries, easy enough to go on-line and download contents for books you purchased.
GREAT Learning Tool for Toddlers... May 5, 2010

I purchased this for my 2 year old son, and we BOTH love it! I also purchased a few more books at the same time, but so far, his favorite is the 'Cars' shapes book. Jr. is so easy for toddlers to use, and the large body makes it simple for children to grip and place exactly where they want him. The voice is crisp, clear, and child-like...not a boring robotic sound.
One of the only downsides is the USB slot is in the battery compartment, so you have to take the cover off if you want to add or remove books. Not a huge deal since you shouldn't need to do this too often, but a slight pain. Overall though, I absolutely recommend this. I just love LeapFrog products as they're so easy to use, and great tools for learning. I've been recommend little Tag Jr. to all my friends with toddlers!
