Is it worth buying Leapad for nearly 8yr olds?

[triplets]

Hi, my trio wil be 8 in Jan, one of them struggles at school although not so much with his reading than his handwriting, I think they would all enjoy it but there doesn`t seem to be many books suitable, they are all very young and themed, I have seen one on geography, but little else like that. Is there an alternative to Leapad?

i bought leap pad for my son when he was 4 he was not very interested in it.my 6yr old says its too babyish for her too.they probably have more books for older kids now .my son is 8 now
