"It is a tremendous honor to receive this recognition from Common Sense Media, a highly respected and trusted resource for parents and educators," said John Barbour, chief executive officer at LeapFrog. "'Cooking! Recipes on the Road' is a unique game that integrates real world skills including measurement, addition and subtraction as kids cook up recipes and build math skills. Our team of designers and educational experts strive to develop high-quality play experiences filled with learning. This game provides that perfect combination of learning and fun, building school skills in a playful way through real life experiences such as running a family food truck."

The Common Sense Media ON for Learning Awards celebrate the best in kids' digital media, based on the organization's Learning Ratings Initiative. The Learning Ratings Initiative is designed to help parents sort through the abundance of apps, games and websites that claim to be educational and identify those products that deliver on learning potential and are age appropriate.

"Common Sense Media's Learning Ratings are the most comprehensive tool parents have to distinguish the digital-media products that are truly educational from those that simply claim to be," said Linda Burch, chief education and strategy officer. "The ON for Learning Award recipients represent only five percent of the titles we review and we congratulate LeapFrog on helping to set the high standard for high-quality digital learning products and improving the media landscape for kids."
