I bought these for my three yr old who was speech delayed. He loves these tapes and his languange skills improved immediately. I would highly recommend these tapes.

These are simply fantastic tapes ... my 3-yr old son has a language delay/slight autism and within a week he had learned the 30 or so verbs on these tapes. He loves to watch them and even makes a special request for the tapes. He's taken the words he's learned and started using them in everyday life. For the first time he started requesting that we do things for him like "Smile!" "Cry" and "Wave". While they might not work for everyone they have been an amazing tool for us.

We have been showing the 5 videos in this series to my son since he was around one year old. Although he is not talking much yet, his comprehension is great and we think these videos have really helped. He knows almost all the words, and points to his favorites, makes appropriate sound imitations, etc. etc. While they appear a bit dull vs. the Baby Einstein series, he enjoys them just as much and has learned more from them.
 Could be better.... October 18, 2003

I bought the three pack of Action Verbs (Tapes 1,2, and 3). I feel that they could be better. They are not terrible, but when I compare them to Baby Einstein or So Smart, it is obvious that Bee Smart's quality is not nearly as good. It seems they spent more on advertising than on making the tapes as good as they can possibly be. For example, along with each cassette there is a pamphlet of advertising material for more bee smart tapes--but nowhere do they include a list of the action verbs for the tapes I bought. (I have to go to the web site for a list of the action verbs.)
Here is how each tape is set up:
Throughout each tape children are shown doing various actions. There are a few puppets, but 95% of the time it's children. There is no animation.
A voice says the action verb twice for each verb. This lasts about ten to fifteen minutes. Then the verbs repeat, and the voice says a sentence using each verb. There is classical music in the background, but it doesn't particularly match what is shown in the video.
There are NO breaks anywhere in the video. It justs jumps from verb to verb. This is very annoying as it makes it hard to watch with out little pauses between verbs.
The best things about these videos is that they do show various actions in various forms. Also, the kids are real kids, no actors. A baby wears glasses, which I thought was neat.
You have to decide if this is what you want for your kid, but personally I thought that this could have been done better. I prefer So Smart First Words much better (but So Smart doesn't have an action verb tape.)
Non-verbal son is talking March 26, 2003

My son is nearly three and getting help from the early intervention program for speech. This tape has helped him so much. At first he would cry when I put it on (he wanted to watch Monsters, Inc.), but now he loves Action Words and by the second day he was picking up verbs such as eat and using them appropriately. I am buying the next couple of tapes in the series and highly recommend them. The music is great too. But the thing that I like best is that they do not exhibit the visual flash patterns that most videos do, which keep kids addicted to the tv. They are soothing and can be used in the background and the kids can do other things and still be learning. Get the tapes!
