This book lays out a clear, step by step approach that gives you a jump start in the right direction. I would definitely recommend it for people who have little time to devote to learning techniques and theory but want to see results fast.

His first game was CARS and he's loving Toy Story and it's for the perfect age range, so we got it for his birthday. He loves it! He has to get familiar with what it's teaching but it won't take him long :) Rating: 5 / 5 My son got a leapster a few months ago.

There are a few that he will be "growing" into. But that just gives the game more to play. The voices are even close enuff to where you cant tell the difference. My son loves this game and he's learning the whole time he plays. Great game. Rating: 5 / 5 Great game, my son who is five was able to play most of the game modes with no help.

I decided I would try to change his opinion – so after the kids were in bed last night I played the game myself to see if I could make suggestions on what he was doing wrong.

My observations:

1) There are 4 games – all 4 are VERY simplistic and boring.

2) The “reward” for doing well in those 4 games is to earn more toys “to play with”. However, “playing with the toys” involves opening the toy box and clicking on them so they appear laying around in Andy’s room – that’s it – there will be no playing with the toys, apparently!

3) At 5 years old (entering Kindergarten next week) difficulty levels 1 and 2 (on all 4 games) are too easy for him, level 3 (which has addition facts like 5+3=?) is too hard – so he just guesses the answers. But I expect that even when he CAN answer those questions, the game will still be boring.

I have older kids so I know that Leapster isn’t designed or capable of entertaining the kids like DS or PSP, but I think this particular game does a particularly bad job.

This has been his only Leapster game choice for a week now. However, today he did complain that he'd collected all the toys and does seem to be getting a little bored. This may happen with any of the games. I suggested he play a higher level and that seems to have renewed his interest. Although, he plays for less time and puts it away himself. Not necessarily a bad thing. There are four games to choose from. Rating: 5 / 5 My five year old received this for his birthday. This has been his only Leapster game choice for a week now.

When you talk even a bit loudly you hear a distorted echo of your own voice. This is so annoying that I had to return this phone. Another negative is that none of three headsets that I tried worked well with this phone. These problems are unfortunate since most other aspects of this product were quite good.

Best speakerphone at this price-point that I've seen. Decent feature-set for my needs. Biggest complaint is that the mute button "beeps" whenever you go on/off mute. I do conference calls extensively and company etiquette proscribes hitting a number when you want to say something. Many times when I go on/off mute the facilitator asks if someone wants to say something (AT&T says I cannot disable the beep). LCD user-interface a little cludgy, otherwise fine. Wish it had more speed dials; but they are very easy to program. Pressing the numbers takes a little getting used to (they're concave; convex is easier to me). Callers tell me I'm faint when using the headset (not supplied), speakerphone is fine. Rating: 3 / 5 Overall satisfied with the phone. Best speakerphone at this price-point that I’ve seen.

There was a time when you could buy any AT&T phone and be assurred of it's quality. Not any more! The hand set gives an echo to every word I speak, making it very unpleasant to use. People on the other end tell me I come across fine, but hearing your own words reverberating in your ears while speaking is very bad indeed. I'm returning this product. Save yourself the return trip to the store, or return postage, and buy something else. Rating: 1 / 5 I purchased this telephone based on the features, and the name (AT&T).
