"I have 3 bilingual children & we love this video! My kids love it because the puppets are adorable, the songs are fun & upbeat and they can sing & dance along. They also like that the video is bilingual, and they get to hear alot more spanish in the songs than from "Dora;" I love it because the songs are true, traditional Spanish (& English) children's songs, and my children are learning songs that I grew up with. Plus the Spanish is authentic, not Americanized. Well-done & fun to watch!

"My children have enjoyed this DVD but I found it not to be a very good value - $19.99 for less than 25 mins. of video. Because I got it to expose my children to Spanish I was disappointed at the amount of songs in English vs. Spanish. Also, not much speaking going on."
LOVE IT!!!

"My kids LOVE this video (ages 4 & 5)! They watch it over & over again and are definitely learning Spanish words from it. They think the puppets are the funniest things on earth. And they are SO proud to tell me the words they know in Spanish. They sing along to the songs every time. I would highly recommend it to other parents who want to expose their young kids to the Spanish language!"

"I bought 3 dvds, Teatro de la Floresta #1, the Praise baby collection, and this one. I wanted my baby not only be expose to the music but to the visuals. The first 2 in my opinion are boring, especially the second one, Cantos y rimas is fun upbeat and keeps baby's interest. Though some of us would have prefer the dvd to be longer, it is aim to babys and toddlers so it is only 24 min long. The songs are even really easy to learn.
If what you want is to expose your child to the Spanish language whether or not you are a native, I belive that it is a great tool because even though it is not 100% Spanish the English languages is secundary.

"We have been looking for a spanish-language video for my grandchildren to watch, and we just found this DVD & the other Cantarima DVDs. We love all of them. The children love the puppets, the music and the colors. I really like the fact that the songs are real Spanish children's songs, the ones that I knew growing up, so that my grandchildren are learning both Spanish and true Spanish songs as well. Plus the bilingual DVDs teach English songs, which my grandchildren know from preschool, so they really love to sing along, and then they are learning to sing along in Spanish too! Highly recommend these DVDs."
