A: Yes. To lock in the book you can either 1) push the spirals onto the “footballs” in the book well or 2) set the book down in the device so that the spirals are next to the book well, then close the cover and then reopen it. The spirals should now be locked on.

What is LeapStart 3D?
This new interactive learning system is a visually enhanced book-based “Touch-and-
Talk” system is designed to help kids get ready for and be successful in school. Filled with fun activities that grow with your child, this system offers a combination of interactive print, audio and animation to further reinforce the curriculum and help children better understand the concepts.
This kid-tough book-shaped device opens just like a book and offers fun learning activities through printed interactive books that are placed in the device. The “Touch-and-Talk” stylus provides immediate feedback to your child during an activity when it touches specific areas of a page, bringing the activity books to life with a multi-dimensional experience combining printed images, 3D-like animations, audio, music and sound effects.
When the device is opened, a robust reflective panel pops up at the top of the device where a 3D animation related to the book’s activities appears to float in the middle of the panel (like a hologram) during gameplay. The animations, audio, and music will vary from one book to another, and from one page to the next.
