We recently received this really fun new game from Leapfrog for our Tag Reader called Leap and the Lost Dinosaur. It is a really fun interactive game for kids ages 5-8 (but even my 9 year old likes it) My boys are loving it. It also comes with 15 Dinosaur cards with information about each of them.
Here is a little info about it…

Providing children with opportunities to build knowledge in an area of personal interest can support reading comprehension. LeapFrog Literacy Expert Carolyn J. says, “In Leap and the Lost Dinosaur, information about dinosaur sizes, habitats, key defenses and more is woven into a compelling story that provides a rich context designed to help children understand and remember the facts presented.”
After each page of reading there are fun games to play on each page where you can identify and compare dinosaurs of different heights, explore the differences in dinosaurs’ teeth and habitats and “feed” dinosaurs that are herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores, or you can play a game to learn how some modern animals share characteristics with the dinosaurs of long ago.
