LeapFrog Tag Junior Announced
Written on Jan 26, 2009 by Brian and filed under LeapFrog, News
LeapFrog has announced a new learn-to-read product for the younger set, Tag Junior. As you probably know, the Tag Reading System is a fantastic tool for kids 4+ who are learning to read. The new Tag Junior, which will come out this summer, is designed for kids age 2-4.
The chunkier Tag reader has a frog-like look and a front speaker that reads to kids, much like the current Tag system. It sounds as if Tag Junior will work the same way that Tag does, in that parents will buy the specially inked books, then download the story content to the Tag Junior.
The Tag Junior system comes with a LeapFrog-original board book called If I Were, which explores animal sounds. Each of the other eight sturdy board books in the Tag Junior library focuses on a different preschool theme, including sounds, colors, letters of the alphabet, numbers and social play. Curious George, Dora the Explorer and Winnie the Pooh are just a few of thw favorite brands featured in the Tag Junior library.
The Tag Junior ystem will retail for $34.99 and books will retail for $10.99.
