Once again, I have to thank all of you who commented and/or emailed me about the early reader situation. Your suggestions were spot on!
One of the common threads I noticed in your suggestions was the use of Leap Frog products. Whether the Tag Reader or Leapster2, many of you mentioned these products as awesome learning tools for your little ones. I’m in full agreement – we LOVE the Tag Reader. LOVE IT. I wrote a review of the Tag Reader at ParentDish last summer and my opinion hasn’t changed at all. It rocks.
Thanks to the lovely folks at Leap Frog, one lucky reader will receive one Tag Reader set plus two extra books! Here’s the deal – leave a comment on this post before Friday, May 29th at 12pm PST. I’ll announce the randomly-chosen winner Friday afternoon. Good luck!
(Psst…a Leapster2 giveaway is coming soon!)
I’m jumping in! I’ve got a two year old who would love this!
Yeah! I’m in.
I would love to get my two-year old started with reading. This would be great!
I would love to get my 2 year old reading. She will, however, sit in her room for a period of time and “read” her books, I guess that’s a start…right?
Awesome! My son would love this.

I’d love to try this with my 3-year old. She’s very into pretend reading.

I don’t have kids of my own, but I have a perfect little goddaughter, and I’m auntie to all of my friends’ kids. It would be great to actually have a cool educational toy for one of them! You know, instead of dog toys …
I’d love to be included in this drawing. We have a lot of long road trips coming up this summer and I think my 4 year old would love to have one of these to keep him entertained!

I would love to be entered in your giveaway. I think the tag reader is awesome! Thanks for the oppurtunity!
Rachel’s last blog post..What I can control
Ours is a household of readers and our smallest, small — Lola — is almost two. She says yes, please. Or something to that effect.
I’ve only had one experience with “Little Leaps” and to be honest it was terrible. The language always switched back to spanish and we’d have to do the whole set up process over and over with the DVD player. I eventually gave up and put the damn thing away.
So probably I’ll never buy another Leap Frog product. IF, however, I were to win one and it was better quality than the old one – then maybe I’d change my mind :)
My little girl would love something like this.
I’m totally in – we’ll begin teaching our daughter with it before she’s even born. We’re THAT dedicated. :)
Suze’s last blog post..crazy amazon hair

I have to get in on this, I think my son would really enjoy it. Can’t wait to hear the results!

Would love to win this! My girls love the Leapster and we were thinking of getting this for my almost 3 year old. Thanks for the opportunity!
LeapFrong makes great products!
BethanyWD’s last blog post..The weekend: taking cuts.
This would break up the constant playing of the “Letter Factory” DVD by Leap Frog that Hank is curently enamored with. But, your random number generator is a bastard, so there.
