Customer Reviews

GREAT VIDEO!
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!

Cute but very short
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!
