LeapFrog's award-winning educational product introduces children to the magic of books and reading — developing their vocabulary, phonics and spelling skills. With the touch of a magic wand, LeapFrog's patented NearTouch technology allows children to touch images and experience the next level of interactive learning magic. Full-colored animated books, silly sounds and fun characters let children learn at their own pace. Touch any page with the "magic" LeapPad pen to hear words and stories read out loud, learn letter sounds, hear colorful characters come to life and play tons of learning games.
