Lots and Lots of Honeypots was one of the first LeapPad books my son received, so it's clocked in a good many hours of play. The story is straightforward, and easy for young preschoolers to grasp. Although, it's the games that really occupy my boy. There's loads of praise for the right answers, and a repeat of the question when answered incorrectly. I like this aspect of play, as it encourages learning. The activities challenge children to listen to instruction, recognize items, and follow through by touching the pictures on the pages.
It's difficult to get a 3-year old to listen for any great length of time, but this toy promotes listening, and focus. That alone deserves a decent rating from me. I recommend this book for children 3 and up, but caution parents that it may require some supervision. The GO button must be touched every time you turn the page, so the LeapPad can identify the page. This alone may cause frustration. The pages are sturdy; yet, little ones may get over anxious and crinkle the pages, or worse, tare them off the binding. I've repaired a few pages with tape, but it's not desirable.
I don't have any complaints about Lots and Lots of Honeypots; however, I've discerned over 6-months time that these books are mastered quickly. If there were more pages per books with progressive learning I wouldn't cringe so much at the price tag. Overall, I'm satisfied with the content of this book. I recommend it for young children who haven't mastered counting to 10
