Kodiak bear cubs learn to fish, springbuck fawns learn to walk, and baby alligators hatch from their eggs--all to information-packed rhyming couplets. The puppet trio of bush baby, honeypossum, and cerebral chameleon introduce many of the segments from their shared perch 67 feet above the ground. Francisco Flamingo, an animated bird with a calypso flair, helps out by introducing animals with names beginning with b and by leading viewers in an animal-themed count to 10, in this half-hour installment of the National Geographic Kids collection aimed specifically at preschoolers. Children learn that mudskippers are fish who spend part of their day above sea level and that daddy seahorses have the honor of getting pregnant (for a whopping four weeks), while also getting an earful of "animal doo-wop" and the Nutcracker Suite. Animal lovers will lap this up, but their less-obsessed siblings and friends will enjoy this entertaining series as well. (Ages 2-5) --Kimberly Heinrichs

5.0 out of 5 stars Warmly educational and entertaining, September 8, 2000

This review is from: All About Animals - Bundles of Babies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Both of my daughters (ages 9 mos. and 4 years) are captivated by this video. It has the Sesame Street format - moving from segment to segment, with rhyming couplets and video clips about mama kodiak bear and her cubs, to daddy seahorse giving birth to baby seahorses (among others), interspersed by informative conversations between muppet-type animals in the canopy of a rain forest, and portions with an animated flamingo. The educational rhymes are nice without being overbearingly cutsie. The video clips are great - my older daughter and I especially like the jellyfish with classical music accompaniment. The songs teach about letters and numbers, too, but subtly - without interrupting the pleasing flow and animal theme. The skits are salted with light humor, too. It strikes the perfect balance between entertainment and education. I am going to buy the whole series, having seen this one!

You and your children will love this video! Not only is it full of terrific footage of various baby animals but also contains interesting characters, games and songs. It moves along at a pace that is suitable for small children and is a great learning tool as well.

I bought the video on a lark after seeing it on Amazon. Thankfully, my child loves it and I can hear him laughing at certain parts from across the hall. Worth the investment. Pictures are beautiful, and the tape teaches young children while entertaining them.
