Rating:  Summary: Great - my son loves it! Review: This is a great educational DVD; I bought it for my 18 month old son and he loves it. It doesn't have fancy bells and whistles, and looks old fashioned compared to other children's DVDs, but it holds his attention well. It doesn't have songs though, just the alphabet song, so it may not be interesting for children younger than 18 months.In terms of teaching the alphabet, we also have Sesame St Do The Alphabet, and I prefer the Richard Scarry. The Richard Scarry consistently goes through each letter, with a short, cute, animated segment for each. (The Sesame St is haphazard, covering some letters only.) The DVD is about 30 minutes, which I think is ideal for maintaining a child's interest.
Rating:  Summary: #1 Video for your child's collection... Review: This video may be the most valuable one you'll ever own. Children ages 2+ are mezmorized by it, but more importantly they learn the alphabet just by watching it. This video taught my three children and countless children from my preschool their alphabet. It is the best alphabet learning tool I've found.
Rating:  Summary: Looooooooooooved it & still loving it!! Review: This was a birthday gift for my then 2-year old. He is 6 now and would still watches it with his 18-month old little brother. They would both sing the songs together and shout out the next letter. I bought one for my friend's daughter and she learnt the alphabet just after watching the video a few times. This is a GREAT video. I have also bought all the Richard Scarry Best Ever videos.
Rating:  Summary: Glad I Took the Chance Review: When I first started searching for a DVD to help my daughter learn her ABC's and numbers, I realized there were a lot of products available. But, I came across this DVD and was impressed by the reviews. So, I took a chance and bought it, along with the Best Counting DVD. While there are many more "exciting" cartoons out now and certainly many with more "bells and whistles" than Busytown, my daughter, age 3, actually loved the DVD's. Not only did she watch them, but it wasn't long before she was singing her ABC's along with kids of Busytown and counting with them as well. She regularly requests to watch the DVD's. I am sure not to let her see them more than once a day so they stay "fresh" but I am extremely pleased with the learning experience they have delivered.
