I watched this last night for the first time and I thought it was ok. I don't like Lily as a twin but I guess it keeps the character count down if Tad has a buddy. I mean the old series there were many characters, in this one there are only 3 full sized characters (Leap hardly counts though) and multiple small characters that are more subjects or guides to what is going on and don't really play any significant role. I enjoyed the interactions of the older series betweeen characters. This dvd is more skit based. Like the difference between a drama show and saturday night live. We follow a less interesting and not as bright Tad through various areas mostly inside a classroom. There are observations going on but hardly any teaching. They rattle off the ABC's much too fast, and the whole things moves too fast. I was much less satisfied at the end of this dvd than I was with the older series. My daugter seemed to like it but Lily's role change is a bit confusing and I think we both missed the old cast of characters. When a formula works why change it? I am sure it was to save a buck, too bad this was a very good educational series that has lost some luster.

I love, love, LOVE LeapFrog products. This DVD, however, was a bit of a disappointment. I thought I was crazy the first time we watched it: Tad & Lily are all of a sudden the same age!! In all of the other ones, Lily is older than Tad. I do not understand why they made this confusing switch. Other than that, the DVD is okay.

This is not as good as the first five Leapfrog educational DVDS made between the years 2003 and 2005: Leap Frog - Letter Factory, Leap Frog - Talking Words Factory, Leap Frog - Talking Words Factory 2 - Code Word Caper, Leap Frog - Math Circus, and Leap Frog - Learn to Read at the Storybook Factory. They try to squeeze in too much educational skills in a tiny amount of time to the detriment of any one skill. My jaw and those of strangers dropped when my son at 13 months old knew all the names of the letters of the alphabet and their real phonic sounds after watching the first DVD Leap Frog - Letter Factory. He now at 2 going on three can count to 20 and read complex words with silent letters and blends because of the other 5 DVDS. If this 6th DVD had been my son's first DVD I don't think that would be case today. I think it is a shame that Leapfrog stopped making the other DVDS and if you can buy the 2003 to 2005 versions on Amazon.com I would buy them if you can. They have redone the first two DVDS in the series in 2009, and I haven't viewed them yet, but if they are the same quality as this 2009 Let's Go to School DVD they might not be as good as the original? I give this DVD three stars still, because depite the only OK educational value and the total change in character and story continuity alluded to by other reviewers, it does teach some kindergarten prep skills not in the other DVDs such as walking in a line with your class from place to place, following a schedule according to a calendar or clock, the names of the months, the names of the days of the week, names of the seasons, raising your hand in school when you want speak. Also my son keeps wanting to play it and the DVD Extras over and over so he must like it.

Like the other Leap videos, this one has catchy music and plenty of action to keep toddlers occupied! Reviews Days of week; months and seasons of the year; counting 1-20; more than and less than; letters and sounds. Excellent!

I am hugely disappointed with the educational value of this DVD. My 2-year-old might as well be watching cartoons. We watched it once and it's going back in it's box and will not be watched again. I also agree with all of the other reviewers in terms of the lack of consistency with prior videos featuring Tad and Lily. I, too, have recommended Letter Factory and Word Factory to other parents, but I am disappointed with this one.
