We have the other leap frog videos..WE love them..this one I dont’ love so much.
Here’s the thing…They go through all the letters and they say like a stands for apple..b stands for ball..blah..blah..get to the x and say x stands for Exit…Um no it doesnt…Exit starts with E…my 4 year old says..mommy thats weird exit starts with e not x…glad she caught it..but they should have noticed that!!!

I agree with the review from K.M. It does touch on some new learning (days of week, months of year), but they did not keep consistency with the other Leap Frog Videos.
To reiterate: Like others, we purchased this movie for our child who is about to enter kindergarten. We already own all of the other Leap Frog movies and they have been favorites for years and cannot say eneough good things about those movies. We assumed that this new movie would be like the “next” in the Leap Frog movie series–which it absolutely is not.
It’s like whoever made this movie had never seen any of the other Leap Frog movies before. Suddenly, big sister Lily is now the same age as little brother Tad? Suddenly, Lily AND Tad have forgotten everything they knew from the previous movies and have to learn the alphabet all over again? Not even that they have forgotten, the movie actually implies they have never learned anything ever before! This is just not alright!
I recommend buying all other Leap Frog Videos except this one, because it really just doesn’t fit with the previous movies in the series.

I PRE ORDERED THIS DVD AND RECEIVED YESTERDAY AND WAS VERY EXCITED FOR MY THREE YEAR OLD TO OPEN THIS DVD. HE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO WATTCH IT AND IT IS VERY, VERY EDUCATIONAL. I FEEL THAT THIS PRODUCT IS GOOD FOR ANY CHILD IN PRESCHOOL. IT TEACHES THEM OTHER RELAVANT AREAS THAT THE OTHER DVDS DONT.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AND ALL THE OTHER LEAP FROG PRODUCTS TO ANYONE WITH PRESCHOOLERS.

We very much enjoyed the first four Leap Frog DVDs, but this one is terrible. I’d say invest in the first two, Letter Factory and Math Factory. They are much better done.

Let me begin by saying that I am a HUGE fan of all Leap Frog products! However……
I am a mom of 4…ages 7, 7, 3, and 2… My twins, who are now seven, learned all of their ABC’s from the Letter Factory DVD and the other videos in the series….I used to say that I should have taken out stock in the product for how many times I recommended this DVD series to other preschool parents. As a teacher, I felt that the Letter Factory series was one of the best learning tools out there. So we were all excited when we found out a new DVD was coming out….. We sat down to watch the latest DVD, Let’s Go to School, and we were all hugely disappointed…..Did I miss something? Since when are Tad and Lily twins? Huh? And is it just me, but does Tad look different? Why in the world would they change such an outstanding format??? The leadership at Leap Frog needs to realize that we are not stupid…. okay, maybe we are… I bought the DVD…. but…. anyway… .where is Mr. Websley and Professor Quigley? I also have a three year old and a two year old… this will be the DVD that collects dust on the shelf… as for the next math DVD they have coming out??? well… I’ll defintely wait to hear the other reviews before I buy it! Hugely bummed that this isn’t as great as the others…. I just can’t come to grips with how they changed Lily to being so much younger… and if any of you saw the Tad’s Christmas DVD, the parents had a set of twins at the end of the movie… is this supposed to be Tad 2 and Lily 2? Surely they could have gotten more creative…
