Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

NOT ONLY WAS I IMPRESSED BY THE ADVERTISEMENTS FOR THIS ITEM, WHEN I PERSONALLY WENT INTO MY LOCAL TOYS R US STORE, AN EMPLOYEE IN THE TOY DEPARTMENT, PERSONALLY GAVE BOTH MYSELF AND MY SISTER-IN-LAW AN EXTENSIVE DEMONSTRATION OF THIS TOY'S (AND I HESITATE TO SAY TOY BECAUSE IT IS REALLY AN EDUCATIONAL WONDER) CAPABILITIES! MUCH TO OUR COMPLETE JOY, WE WERE AMAZED, SPEECHLESS, AND WELL-INFORMED! AT THAT MOMENT, WE BOTH REALIZED THAT NOT ONLY WAS THIS A "MUST-HAVE" FOR OUR FIVE-YEAR OLDS, BUT FOR OUR OTHER CHILDREN AS WELL! (NOT TO MENTION WE LEARNED, OR SHALL I SAY "REMEMBERED" CERTAIN FACTS ABOUT MATH, THE HUMAN BODY, ETC., THAT WE HAD LONG FORGOTTEN - HE DEMONSTRATED WITH SEVERAL LEAP PAD BOOKS). I RECOMMEND THIS ITEM NOT ONLY AS A WONDERFUL GIFT BUT ALSO AS A MUST-HAVE! IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A TOY, MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT IS AN EDUCATIONAL DEVICE AND ONE THAT I AM CERTAIN, WILL BE UTILIZED, ENJOYED AND MUCH APPRECIATED! IF I COULD RATE THE STARS HIGHER THAN A "5" I WOULD SAY "GO ALL THE WAY AND DOUBLE THAT - I MOST CERTAINLY GIVE IT A "10"!!!!
