I think the idea for Littlefingers LeapPad was great...but those ingeneous engineers made one flaw...they need to laminate the books. Or at least put the pages on cardstock! When I bought my daughter the system for Christmas, it came with a book and it was just paper, but I assumed that it was like that because it was the book that came with it. Then, I bought this Songbird book and it was the same way. The pages are easy for my daughter to crinkle and chew through. She's just learning about books and teething...not a good combo. So I really think they need to put some people on their design team that have infants and toddlers. What were they thinking?!
