Look for "Arthur and the Lost Diary" on my shelf, if you're interested.

Are these allowed to be shipped media mail? (the cartidges, I mean) They aren't considered just toys?

I think it would be considered an electronic form of media, wouldn't it? Like a CD or cassette? In any case, it might be cheaper to mail first class anyway because it's not very heavy.

I'm new to the Leap Pad system (we're replacing the Power Touch that our son has been using) I notice that this is a "level 2" book... would it be the right level for a 5 year old?  He enjoys Arthur cartoons on PBS but we haven't read any of the books yet.

Thanks!

It's a longer "chapter" book. Unless he's an advanced reader, he wouldn't be able to read it to himself... but he could grow to it! It says Grades 1-3, ages 6-8. So it probably wouldn't be long!
