In the Product Description it says that this video is for the 3 to 6 year old age range, but having children in that range myself, I can tell you that this is incorrect.For unlike the other Leapfrog videos, this one is really meant for older children who are either on the verge of reading, or who have just started reading.I say this from observation of my son (3.5) and daughter (5.5) and their friends.Those of them that are almost reading, or who are sounding out short words and sentences, understand the importance of punctuation and 'get' the songs and the points of the story which emphasize inflection and reading naturally (chunking).
For the younger ones it just passes over their heads which is perfectly understandable since they haven't a good idea of what sentences and paragraph structure is all about.
Five Stars.It's short, but for the right kids it's an invaluable tool for teaching about story structure and reading.Young children will watch Lily, Tad and the gang, but don't expect them to learn much.
But buy this video.If you have the other videos (which are amazing) go ahead and get this one to go along with them.When the time is right, your child will just absorb this information like they did their letters.
