About Learning with Leeper
In Lunar Leeper, one of Sierra's earlier arcade games, players had to rescue prisoners on a planet's surface while avoiding the "Leepers", who would leap into the air in an attempt to grab them, and one of the Leepers feature in this game. Similar to Learning with FuzzyWOMP, the player can select one of four games, by moving the Leeper to the icon and pressing the fire button to select it.

A young children's colors-and-numbers game from Sierra, best bought for the box check rather than the gameplay.
Learning with Leeper first appeared on computers from Sierra On-Line, which brought it to the ColecoVision in 1984. Wikipedia describes it as teaching colors, numbers and the alphabet, using the character from Sierra's Lunar Leepers.
It is a young child's program, not an action game, and no period review of the ColecoVision cartridge turned up.
What the press said at the time
| Computer Entertainer Vol. 3 No. 2 | May 1984 | Graphics ★★★½ · Play-Action ★★★ |
“This cartridge is simple enough for a very young child to use without help after mom or dad sets the system up—and it's fun to play!”
Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — diamonds through early 1987, stars after — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.
Before you buy
Check the box before paying a complete-copy price. Sierra used one box design across several systems with a sticker naming the platform, and a 2013 AtariAge thread accused a seller of peeling the ColecoVision sticker to pair a box with a loose cartridge. Look for the original sticker in photos and match the cartridge to it. It plays on the standard ColecoVision controller and no overlay is documented.
