Movie Reviews of LeapFrog: Math Adventure to the Moon
Movie Review: Catchy songs, fun story, very engaging - great purchase!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good one. At first I wasn't impressed - I only heard them counting to ten in the video. But, a little deeper in, they introduced skip-counting; first by twos (up to twenty), then by fives (up to fifty) and then by tens (up to one hundred). That was pretty cool. The other thing I appreciated was that they showed a few different ways to add two numbers to get to ten. Tad and Lily did this by adding same-colored space rocks (the rocks look suspiciously like brightly colored jello cubes!) to get enough rocket fuel to return to Earth. Pretty good concept. Patterns were also introduced (I think it was "star, space rock, star", "star, space rock, star"). The pattern was used while Tad & Lily and Edison (a lightning bug) are journeying into outer space and flying by these objects. What I liked about this is that, on their return trip they get lost, and find their way back when they see the pattern and follow it back to Earth. Nice that they also snuck this piece in - pay attention when you are traveling somewhere, and it will help you to find your way home.
This movie keeps the kids engaged, and they can easily watch it twice in a row, happily. It's definitely been on our frequently viewed list.
One thing to note if you are a Leapfrog fan and have other Leapfrog products that your kids love - Tad and Lily look the same age/same height in this video. Some of the earlier Leapfrog videos (Talking Words Factory, Letter Factory, Code Word Caper - all GREAT by the way) have Tad being the young one, with two older, taller siblings (Lily and Leap). The change didn't bother us, but it might be frustrating for some viewer who have had a stronger attachment to Lily in other Leapfrog videos. You might need to say that this is Tad's twin sister, Lily, who was off visiting Grandma & Grandpa during the other videos, and, yes, isn't it funny that both of Tad's sisters have the same name?!
All in all, we rate this one an A+!
