Learning to read has never looked this amazing. Monsters University is LeapFrog's very first
3D book. As with any good picture book, the illustrations are as important as the text
in telling a really good story. And what I appreciate about the 3D feature, is that it
will motivate even the most reluctant readers to really focus on the pictures as well as
the print. Our job is to keep learning fun. Since the film takes place at a University,
we had the opportunity to combine the scare curriculum with our learning curriculum. And
along the way in the development, we turned to the real experts, who are the children,
to tell us how we're doing. Exactly, if there's anything they don't understand, or it's not
fun enough, we'll change it. For children first learning how to read, it's really common
for them to understand the story through the pictures. So by tying our illustrations directly
to the story we've written, we really forge an important connection. I can see that with
my daughter, every time she opens the book it's a brand-new experience. She's interacting
with the characters, she's learning new vocabulary, she's picking up grammar skills, it's really
empowering for her to be reading on her own. And it's so much fun for me to watch that
lightbulb go off every time she makes new connections and learns new things.
