"Designed for the enjoyment and active 'dance along' participation of children ages 3 to 6, "Dance With The Animals is a superbly produced and presented 45 minute DVD in which young viewers learn about more than sixty different animals and put their own creative imaginations into play by imitating those animals. Combining live action with animation, children not only enjoy the music and dance (which enhances the motor skills associated with creative movement and the cognitive skills of listening and following directions) while learning about animals common to the farm, the forest, and found at the zoo. The fourteen segments comprising "Dance With The Animals" include: Animals, Animals; Learn About Pets; Pet Care; Pet Sounds Game; Pet Parade; Farm Animals; Farm Game; The Sound Farm; Barnyard Dance; Forest Animals; Forest Homes; Forest Frolic; Zoo Animals; and Safari Line. With a total running time of 44 minutes, this full-color, informative and fun, "Dance With The Animals" will make a wonderfully popular addition to family, preschool, kindergarten, and community library DVD collections for kids."
So bad, I want to warn other parents!

"We got this at the library, and if you are looking for insipid lyrics, trite music, and poor animation, this is the DVD for you. It's marked for ages three and up, but unless your preschooler doesn't yet know that a cow goes "moo" and an owl lives in a tree, I don't think they will learn anything new! It's truly one of the worst children's DVDs I've ever seen."
