Leap gathers parts to build and race his own dune buggy in this interactive storybook designed to teach fundamental math skills to primary-age LeapPad users. The text is not particularly engaging, and the computer-generated illustrations are so busy that they are confusing to look at. But the math games are the real point of the book, and they are interesting and well designed. They begin with simple tasks, such as shape identification and telling left from right, but progress to include more complex tasks, such as counting money, taking measurements, counting by twos, sorting and categorizing, adding and subtracting, and reading maps. Hidden picture searches, notoriously popular with primary-age children, are prominently featured. Kids are encouraged to count the found objects and classify them by type of material. The book also emphasizes the prevalence of numbers in everyday life by making clocks, signs, and license plates prominent features of the illustrations. --Elisabeth Fredrickson, mother of three and former English teacher
