Leapfrog: Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words

Just awful
I'm usually a fan of Leapfrog products and have other Scout & Friends DVDs, but this one is terrible. I can't believe anyone would actually recommend this DVD. The premise of the video is a gallery being filled with items that are opposites which Scout and his friends choose. They're given part of a word and complete the word two or three times until they find the "right" word. The problem is, a few of the options that are "wrong" could actually be correct, and several that are "correct" are just silly (which isn't condusive to a guessing game format). For example, they're supposed to find something noisy to go in a gallery and are given the letters OAT. They come up with the word COAT, then say "no, no, no" because a coat isn't noisy. Then they come up with the option BOAT, but say "no, no, no" (much to my child's confusion apparently they've never heard of a motor boat or tug boat). The "correct" answer was GOAT. When it came time for the opposite item, the "correct" answer...

Great for Scout and Violet fans
Both of my girls (ages four and two) love Scout and Violet, so this was a nice addition to their little Scout and Violet video collection. They have both learned about opposite words with this DVD, my two-year-old especially loves to sing along with the songs.

I would recommend this product for all parent with young children. As a parent and teacher, I see the value in finding quality, age appropriate video programs for young children. This series has just that, it is fun and has educational value within it.
