What’s It About?

LET'S GET BUSY, BABY! is a book/software set for the Little Touch LeapPad Learning System. The 20-page book is loaded with photos of babies doing typical baby things: getting dressed, moving, eating, playing with toys, and saying goodnight. Some pages teach the parts of a baby's body and the features on a baby's face. One spread introduces toy instruments, and another introduces feelings with photos of babies expressing different emotions.

Parents snap the Let's Get Busy, Baby! book and software cartridge into the Little Touch LeapPad, and the pages on the touch-sensitive platform become interactive. The book can be explored using three settings: for 6- to 12-month-olds, 12- to 24-month-olds, and 2- to 3-year-olds. Parents can also activate a bilingual option to have words pronounced in Spanish. Each pair of pages features an extra activity called a \"bright spot,\" activated by pushing on the yellow light bulb symbol, that may be an interactive song or a seek-and-find game.

This book/software set is an excellent way to introduce language to a baby. Babies love to look at pictures of other babies. The book introduces more than 50 words in an environment full of music and sounds. The book also offers helpful advice to parents about how to engage a child using this book/software set.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
