Right out of the box, I love the way the pen looks. Right away, it is a fun worm. A book worm. Not only did Tucker have a fun time with Bugsby, Kambry showed a lot of interest to it as well. Tucker is 4. Kambry is 2. Both are great ages to teach letters, reading, numbers and more, as well as age 2 is a great age to get started with all of these!
We received a few books to check out and I have to say that both of the kids’ favorite was Bugsby Reading System Book – Wonder Pets. Kambry always says “MING MING”. Love it! Both of the kids love this show, so I know that Wonder Pets is a group of characters that will keep their interest for more than 2 minutes.

So…..no entries for being a follower, subscriber etc? I’m really tired of all the ‘Twitterers’ ‘Facebook’ people etc. getting all those entries, and the rest of us are just out of luck! And then when I found out that some people just enter EVERYTHING and there is a website for them to “Dump” the stuff they’ve won that A) They don’t want, B) They don’t need or care for — it just infuriated me! I guess GREED is everywhere…..! Sorry! I just wanted to get that “off my chest” — this really doesn’t count as an entry because I don’t ‘tweet’ ‘Stumble’ ‘Kirtsey’ Technofav’ or facebook!
I love that the pen is a cute bookworm.

I love that the Bugsby Reading System has books for ages 3 to 7 about characters my five and three year old granddaughters see every day on TV, characters they already know and love, like Olivia and Dora the Explorer and Scooby-Doo. So while they are having fun with their TV friends, they are building early reading skills and language arts through play. I also love the kid-friendly design of the book “worm”:)

I like that it teaches a child while they have fun.
I love that it features current characters that the kids can relate to. My son would love this system.
I like that my daughter could be a “self starter” with this, and when ever the mood struck, use Bugsby without any help.

Well, my little granddaughter turns three in a few months and she is really hooked on Dora. I noticed they have listed Dora the Explorer as a new item they have out. With the Bugsby Reading System, I think she would love it. It would make an awesome birthday/Christmas present for her I know. She already loves to read and I think this product would make reading all the more fun!
