 My sons LOVE this August 19, 2005

My 2 1/2 year old and my 8 month old sons love this DVD. For awhile we were dancing and singing to it everyday. I have had to order the More Playgroup Favorites so that we don't get burnt out on all the songs.
I have a similar complaint about little Jay (the joey in the animated portion). I find him to be VERY annoying-but my kids like him so I can't complain too much.
The DVD has the sing along option, which has the lyrics on screen. This is very handy when you are learning all of the songs for the first time. Since the words change after the first verse, it's helpful to have that feature.
I think it is the perfect length for my boys. It captures their attention spans perfectly. We dance and sing to it together in the mornings and by the end of the half hour we are ready for it to be over.
I highly recommend this to people with toddlers.
 Estaba muy triste con el parte en espanol. English review below of mainly the Spanish part or the DVD. February 2, 2006

Las palabras estan diferentes en escrito cuando cantan. No hay la opcion para aprender las palabras viendo las cuando uno esta cantando. No entiendo porque pongan las palabras en un forma del futuro en la cancion y otro en escrito, como vamos a cantar y cantaremos. Es como pagaron dos personas diferentes para traducir lo mismo video una para las canciones y otra para lo escrito. Cuando hablan y no estan cantando sigue con otra forma de decir todo. Uno puede usar el video para aprender ingles en forma de karaoke porque las palabras en ingles salen igual y se muestran la palabra que estan cantando.
For people who think that those who speak Spanish can sing along with the words they are wrong. The Spanish words are all in a different form of future etc. in the subtitles verses the verbal form whether in songs or spoken. It is like they paid two different people to translate the same video. One for the verbal and the other for the lyrics, and then stuck them together without checking that they are the same. Same meaning is different than same words especially if you are trying to sing along. I don't understand why anyone would allow their product to be marketed in this way. It may be helpful to teach English in a karaoke format as the English lyrics are the same and highlight as you go if you choose the sing along option on the menu.
My son learned so much from this DVD! November 14, 2005

I originally bought this DVD because I was starting some playgroups for the first time, and wanted to get reacquainted with some of the songs and fingerplays, etc. I played it a couple of times for myself, not realizing that my 14 mos old son was paying attention the whole time. Well, one day when I started singing the DVD theme song, my son hurried over to the tv and pointed to where I keep our DVDs. That was one of the first times that I realized he was making these mental connections. I think this is a great DVD for helping 12-24 month olds grow.
Within a month or two he recognized many of the songs, and often within the first 3 words that he would hear.
At 15-17 months he started imitating the finger plays to many of the songs as well as the more physical movements, like dancing or moving his arms. There were times when my husband and I would ask, WHERE did he get that move from? And then realized it was from the DVD! Now at 20 months he pretty much does everything on the DVD. The DVD is very movement-oriented so it encourages alot of parent-child interaction. In one of the songs the last line is "This is the way we hug our moms, hug our moms, hug our moms," and my son would run over to me to hug me.
I wanted to avoid exposing my son to too much tv but this is the one DVD whose benefits I can actually see. Who knows, maybe he's also learning alot from his Elmo DVDs (which he also loves, but he's often a vegetable in front of those), but if as a parent sometimes you feel like seeing some concrete results of whether or not your kids are getting anything out of what they're watching, in our case, this DVD offered that.
I like this DVD because my son doesn't just zone out into space when he's watching; he's up and moving and dancing the whole time and as he grows I can see how he's picking up more and more from the DVD. And he remembers the songs and the movements, so that anytime we say, "let's dance!" or any time he hears one of the songs from some other source, he'll start dancing. It's great, because right now we don't have him enrolled in any type of formal class and I certainly don't have the creativity to teach him all those moves. It's alot of fun for us to watch as parents too.
 My two year old won't watch it! May 20, 2004

As far as toddler videos goes, this one is well put-together, with fair graphics (toddlers don't care!) and great songs. I bought this video because my 2-year-old LOVES his other Mommy and Me video "Splish Splash." However, this one doesn't have as good a structure to it, and it failed to keep his attention. I can't really tell you why he won't watch it, but since he won't, I can't recommend it. I DO recommend "Splish Splash" by Mommy and Me, as he will watch it without distraction for the entire episode!
Excellent parent and child video! October 25, 2004

My son (18 months) liked the other Mommy and Me videos, but this certainly entertained us both. This is a good 20 minute workout for parent and child. AND it has a 'repeat play' feature, which automatically starts playing again once the dvd is over. I highly recommend!!
