How to Buy a LeapFrog LeapPad Learning System

The LeapFrog LeapPad Learning System was one of the the most popular toys to hit the market in 1999. This learning system helped children between the ages of 3 and 8 learn to read by creating fun books that came to life with the use of a pen. Children loved listening to the LeapPad stories, playing the fun interactive games and reading aloud with the book. The LeapFrog LeapPad Learning System came with different cartridges that could be inserted into the system to change the stories and games. Unfortunately in 2007 the LeapFrog LeapPad Learning System was discontinued. It was replaced in 2008 by the LeapFrog Tag Reading System.
