Leapfrog

Warner Home Video, 2003

Stick with it!
I purchased this after reading the great reviews on Amazon. My daughter was 21 months old and starting to talk more so I thought this might be an entertaining way to learn. She didn't want anything to do with it the first 2 times I put it in. Now, a month later, she ...

Schoolhouse Rock! - America Rock

Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie

Walt Disney Video, 1997

Homeschooling mother of five
Well, i am here to say this is a fabulous tool! I watched all of these as a child and have shared them with my children. For those of you with the less than 5 star reviews let me say...This is not meant to be an exhaustive history lesson! It is a great way to ...

Schoolhouse Rock! - Grammar Rock

Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie

Walt Disney Video, 1997

Now all I need is a video of "Time for Timer!"
When my son was born, and only my singing seemed to comfort him, (my singing had never comforted anyone before...) I found myself singing "The Preamble" and "Conjunction Junction." I bought all four Schoolhouse Rock videos shortly afterwards. He's three now, and ...

Eyewitness - Life
Jeanne Mori, Judge Reinhold

DK VIDEO, 1997

This entertaining documentary skims along the surface of what is arguably the most compelling question known to humankind: What is life? In an effort to answer this question, the simple, kid-friendly graphics move the narrative quickly along from the first stirrings in the primordial soup through reproduction, natural selection, and the eventual ...

Bill Nye the Science Guy: Reptiles & Insects

Suzanne Mikawa, Romi Dames

Walt Disney Video, 1995

favorite for all ages
This is one of my 5-year old son's all time favorite videos. He watches it over and over again, and unlike most kids shows I don't grow tired of watching it with him.

It's Potty Time

Gareth Thomas, Sally Knyvette

Repnet, 1991

SUPER DUPER POOPER WORKS
I wish I had this for my oldest son. There is a world of difference in the bathroom etiquette between my 2 boys. The one who learned with the DVD always lifts the lid, puts it back down and also washes his hands. Of course, he has to sing the songs throughout the ...

Leap Frog - Letter Factory

Leapfrog

Warner Home Video, 2003

2-year-old learned the alphabet in 2 weeks!
What an engaging, educational product this is! I've taken this dvd on many long road trips and my daughter never tires. Within TWO WEEKS, she identified with all the letters. Not simply the sounds but she knows what each and every letter is. I was blown away. The ...

Schoolhouse Rock! - Money Rock

Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie

Walt Disney Video, 1998

Money Rock: great discussion-starter & provocative
I was totally overwhelmed by the prospect of explaining to my 6-year-old what money was and why I couldn't just 'get it from the machine.' This video was great: it's fun for adults as well as kids, and makes it possible to segue into discussions about allowances, ...

Schoolhouse Rock! - Multiplication Rock

Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie

Walt Disney Video, 1997

A Schoolhouse Rock Testimonial
When I was in third grade I never could get my times tables down pat- the sevens and twelves proved especially tricky. So my mom checked out this video from the library, and that changed immediately. I could rattle off my multiplication tables as fast as everybody else ...

Your Baby Can Read 1

Dr. Robert Titzer

Infant Learning Co., 2000

My baby CAN read!
My daughter started watching this video at 5 months. At 13 months she started saying the words on the screen before the narrator did. At 15 months she could read all the words in the book that I got to go with Volume one. She is in first grade now and reads at a ...

Living Yoga - Power Stamina Yoga for Beginners

Rodney Yee

Living Arts, 2001

My go-to yoga tape!
This was one of two tapes I got when I started practicing yoga. (The other was Living Arts Total Yoga, which I also like, but which is somewhat different in style and is 60 minutes long.) I agree with other reviewers that Rodney Yee goes through the poses very ...

Eyewitness - Volcano

Félix Álvarez (II), Lydia Lozano

Dorling Kindersley Video, 1996

Hot Stuff
I've got about fifteen eyewitness videos and this one is one of the very best. (This one, coincidentally, is also my five year old's favorite.) Some of the eyewitness videos are capable of putting you to sleep faster than cheap beer after a twenty hour day, but ...

Henry and his Friend Crab Tuesday
This video is a great movie. Part of the classic series Henry's Amazing Animals, which should be released onto DVD season box sets. This episode is about Seashore Animals. This episode also introduces the character named Tuesday the Crab. Both Henry and Tuesday ...
