Good for kids to kick off self-reading, but kids may become reliant on the Tag than self-readingSep 03, 2010
Bought this as a birthday gift for my nephew. He likes it, but maybe because of his personality and limited interest in reading, he played with it only for a day. Good for kids to pick up reasoning with the games/questions on the pages. A bit slow when installing the sound files because sound files are being downloaded realtime and installed. Don't quite like that it requires downloading. Have to try it out on my daughter to see if it would work better since she likes reading much more than her cousin. Then I will update.
 Simple, Tough, and EducationalAug 05, 2010
We originally purchased the Tag Junior for our son's 3rd birthday, but after some deliberation, returned it and bought a Tag reader instead. There were less books for the Junior and I heard that the regular Tag reader can also use the Junior books if we so choose.
At first our son wasn't too interested in the books, but after a few months he really started getting into it and can literally read all of the books himself. Ok, maybe he can't "read" yet, but these are basically audiobooks accompanying the regular book. Each book gives an added bonus of a few pages of games to help the kids learn a bit more on the words introduced throughout the book.
We've had no technical issues at all with setting up any Tag book or the Tag reader itself. Very simple process. Just connect the Tag reader to a computer w/ the supplied usb cord, install the Tag reader software (1-time install) and choose the books that you own. They'll install the audio onto the reader and you're set!
The books themselves can be expensive, but I've seen sales online and locally where they can be found for a good $4-$5 off, so we watch for those.
 Really bad ideaJul 12, 2010
I purchased this toy for my granddaughter at christmas. I beleived the toy would encourage her to read since she loves books. All this toy has done is discourage her love of reading. She refuses to take the toy out of her backpack. She has told me that the toy never works right and does not read the books. I had her bring the toy to me last week. I tried to use the systtem and could not get it to work. I have contacted Leapfrog regarding the pen. I was told to clean the lens. I did as instructed but the pen does not work. Numerous people are complaining about the same thing. I have asked Leapfrog for a refund of my money and I am waiting for their reply.

Despite abuse - Tag Pen still working!May 04, 2010
I got this for my daughter for Christmas and had grandparents get a bunch of books to go with it. She absolutely loves it. We lost the pen at one point and when it was found I handed it to her, not realizing she was about to explode with the stomach flu, and she barfed all over it. It still worked fine. Last week she dropped it in the toilet. I dried it out in the sun and it still works. Crazy! At this point, if it broke, I would replace it because she completely loves it. I do have a new Mac which isn't partitioned, just using as it is out of box and it works fine with downloading the books. You can put books on the pen prior to purchase so if you know you will likely be getting a book, put it on so you don't have to later. Also the pen tells you the batteries are running out long before they really run out.

 not what i expectedMay 04, 2010
i bought this beacause my son loves anything electronic and is starting to read. but i would not have bought it if i had known that the books had little games in them. what a waste of my time and money! who ever decided to add games was an idiot! because there are games my son wanted nothing to do with the reading part. i sure thought it was called tag reading system, not tag game system. if i wanted games i would have bought something else. i am sending it back
