Review of Leapfrog Tag Activity Storybook Ben 10 Alien force: Wanted: Kevin

Customer Ratings:

We always love Leapfrog products and this is no exception. My son is four years old and not yet a reader. He loves Ben 10, so we got him the Tag system with several of the books, including this one. It is one of the most interactive (better than "Ozzie and Mack" and the pirate book, not that they are bad by any means). My son loves to hear the various alien characters make their sounds.

We have only had the books for about two weeks, but it has not yet motivated him to learn to read. (We are using the Bob books for early literacy.) That being said, I think that it is important for him to learn that books are fun and that he can have fun with them all on his own (no adults required).

My son is a typical four-year-old. One of his first acts was to tear a page out of this book. (The paper is high-quality and thick.) I used scotch tape to tape it back in the book, and the page still works 'fine.'

If you have a four-year-old and you are choosing between Tag and and Leapster, my recommendation is to go with the Leapster. It is a more flexible, long-term toy. Of course, you can be like us and get both!

This isn't your typical storybook; rather, it's in a style of a comic book, with panel to panel illustrations. Because of it, you can't use your TAG pen to read random words like your typical TAG storybooks. When you hold your pen over any of the word balloons (a term that refers to one chunk of dialogue spoken by a character on the page), it will read the whole sentence. That's the trade-off of having gorgeous panel by panel illustrations and it's also a great way of introducing how to read a comic book for your kids. Also, when you "TAG" a character, I thought it was neat that they'll have something else to say, other than what's written on their word balloon. Best of all, each character (Ben, Gwen, Kevin, and all of the aliens Ben turns into) sounds just like their counterparts from the TV episodes. It seems like Leapfrog went all out in hiring the original voice actors of the show, not to mention hiring Charlotte Fullerton (one of the writers of the Ben 10 TV series and comic books) to write the book and Min S. Ku (a DC comics artist) to provide the illustrations. One of the better TAG books in terms of content and fun...
