"What a delightful film. My grandchildren love it. It is entertaining as well as educational. For cognitive development everyone should be able to speak and understand a foreign language, at least at a basic level, and for our country Spanish is the one most likely to be used. This DVD is a pleasing and fun way for young children to learn basic Spanish vocabulary."
A must see for the whole family!

"I instantly fell in love with this video! I loved the catchy music, adorable children, lovable puppets, and the colorful teaching of phrases! My husband and I find ourselves after watching it singing the songs and practicing the phrases as we get ready for bed. Buy this video for yourself or a gift for someone special. All ages will enjoy it!"

"I purchased the first CD and my child loved it from the start.
She is 4 years old and knows most of the phrases and words from
the "I AM HUNGRY" CD. Now we have purchased and watched the new
CD "SWEET DREAMS". She loves it and now recognizes some
of the kids that speak on both CD's. She loves showing out by
saying the words and acting out the phrases. Her teacher for
Pre-K Spanish thinks the CD's are enhancing her eagerness to learn Spanish faster. We love both CD's but "Sweet Dreams" is
our favorite. As the mother of a gifted child it has been
recommended that she learn a second language. My child once said to me "mommy if I clean up my toys in your room, can I watch my "Sweet Dreams" CD"? That tells me something! In my opinion, children learning from other children tops all learning tools. Like me, I know their are other parents looking for something to start off or help their kids with Spanish. I am happy to be able to share my experience with other parents.
Thank You"
Great DVD

"I have three children ages 3, 6 and 10 and they all loved this DVD. It really emphasizes every day houshold items and reinforces the spanish language very well. The bright colors and happy music make this a video which is not only educational but very entertaining. My kids have watched it over a dozen times and are excited to show me how much they have learned. This video is unlike others in that it reinforces the same words throughout the entire video using fun puppets and bright kids. If your serious about teaching your children spanish in a fun and entertaining way, this is a must buy for your household."
SO MUCH FUN!!

"We really wanted our kids to have an early exposure to Spanish. This was fun and so easy. Our little ones love the Chihuahua and dance along to the nursery rhymes. We all loved "The Five Little Monkeys" rap song. This DVD also has numbers to twenty and simple commands. We learned to say "Te amo - I love you" and say the nightime phrases every night. The puppets are cute and the children in the video are all having fun and are using very basic, simple vocabulary. The scenes with the girl and the dog are amusing and cute! We also watched the first one and this one is much better for lots of reasons - mostly our kids really pay attention to the entire thirty minutes. It has more music and better graphics.
Our kids have picked up many new words and phrases and so have we! We Recommend this DVD to others beginners. Buenas suerte y buenas noches!"
