Great shapes & colors DVD for children 3 and under.......2005-01-16
I purchased this video for my son because he's having trouble identifying rectangles and squares. It's very engaging, you make shapes with your hands (wich I think is a great idea for multi-sensory learning) then you sing a song about whatever shape you're reviewing. It also teaches you the head-shoulders-knees and toes song, 5 little bears song and the brush your teeth song (wich my son loves).
The colors segment is taught by repetition (There's a blue train. What color is the train? The train is blue. What blue items could go in the blue train? etc.) My son already knows all of his colors but it just so happens that he LOVES trains so we watch that segment as well.
This DVD is mostly CGI (computer cartoon) except for the dog who reminds me of Bear in the Big Blue House. It uses alot of simple phrases with a lot of repetition and because of that I'd recommend it for children 3 or under, not up to 4 like the DVD recommends unless your child has special needs.

My toddler loves it . . . unfortunately........2007-06-17
This is the most annoying video in our collection. It's not annoying in the way that Barney is annoying. It's annoying for its low production value and because it's utterly inane. Now I'm pretty forgiving of children's educational videos, but this one really drives me crazy. Let me give you an example. There's a running joke in the ABC section where the little boy character falls down (standing flat-footed on even ground, he inexplicably falls down). This running joke is repeated 26 times--once for every letter of the alphabet. My toddler tittered the first time this happened. But even that joke wore thin for him.
The producers of this video should be forced to watch it scores of times, because that's what parents have to contend with. Other than that, my toddler loves this video. Loves it! Wants to watch it over and over and over! The horror!
Not for older kids.......2007-02-28
My daughter was very disappointed with this DVD. She didn't even make it past the first half hour because she said it was so boring. She kept saying - "when are they finally doing something else". My daughter is 3 1/2 - I did not realize this DVD was intended from INFANT to four years of age - there is barely any action. I am sure it is good for younger children, for older kids it just does not hold their attention - but - maybe it started getting better after half an hour - we will not know since my daughter decided to not finish it.
My three year old Loooooves this!.......2006-06-29
My three year old son was having trouble with his letters and with his counting. This DVD is incredible. All four programs feature the Barneyesque Puppy Dog character that my son immediately took to. The programs are fun and communicate in very simple effective ways. This is hours of edutainment that you can feel good about having your child watch. My son has already mastered his counting and is improving on his letters...all thanks to Puppy Dog. A++++++
