Reviews:
Wonderful My 5 year old daughter was a little taken back by the robot/human actor, but grew to love him. She has watched this video over and over again within days. She learned so much and so did mom and dad. We are homeschoolers and this is a wonderful way to learn about the human body. Little bits of facts; not over-loading the children. Great learning tool. not for 2 year olds This video has a lot of narratives and it is kinda slow. It counldn't hold the attention of my near-two-year old. She also found the 'robot' in the video a little scary. |
