"I know this has great reviews but I just thought it was alright. My 11 month old was uninterested and my 3 1/2 yr old was only mildly interested. I cannot imagine who the format is aimed at. The video shows 3 pictures in a bubble and then says, "can you find the duck?". Then the duck is a highlighted. However, for little ones learning new words the background is too busy for them to focus on the objects in the bubble. And for older ones the concepts are elementary. I just wasn't overly impressed with the the way it was set up. But like any other children's video, what works for one child may not work for another. So maybe it is just better suited for someone else's children."
Fabulous Title

"If you liked Shari Lewis, you'll love her daughter Mallory. Mallory has lept off from where her famous Mom left off. She is an outstanding ventroloquist and performer and introduces her new puppet Giggles in this well constructed program teaching vocabulry to pre-schoolers. Recent studies have shown that the key difference in school readiness between low and middle income children is vocabulary. I think the more we can expose our kids to an expanded vocabulary, the better prepared they are for school and for life! And, on top of that, it's fun."

"I watch this DVD with my 1 year old grandson and we love it. The songs are entergetic and the presenter comes across as friendly and real.
When I sing the songs (away from the DVD) my grandson starts to bounce and get excited. We really like the "identify the object" sections and the sections where the children are playing and/or exercising.
We have enjoyed this so much, that we misplaced it and had to buy another....5 stars easy!"
