5.0 out of 5 stars My four kids love this video!, November 5, 2004

By 

Laura "Mom-to-four" (California & Cape Cod) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All By Myself, "Getting Dressed" Volume 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I don't normally ooze about videos - but this one is simply perfect! "Getting Dressed" All By Myself is appealing because little kids really do like repetition, cute songs and learning from other children. Although it combines real children (and not those phony actor kids - these looked like my kids' friends) and cartoons, this is not a flashy, high-tech whizzy video - this is more along the lines of classic Sesame Street - gentle, straight forward and real. This video has an old-fashioned, timeless appeal.

I bought this for my three year old (who knows how to get dressed, but likes everyone else to wait on him), and a few minutes after popping the video in, I found all four of my kids (ages 9, 7, 6 and 3) watching this! So I stayed with them to see what would hold even the big kids' attention.... It was just cute! And the silly "out-takes" at the end were charming!

This video will not appeal to most adults - why would it? And it sure won't appeal to kids that have been desensitized by alot of rough tv shows and videos. I think that this is really best for ages one thru four or so.

Real kids, simple message, no drama. I am giving this video - and the second in the series, "Taking Care of My Pet", to anyone I can think of. And I love the story of the three moms who started this company to - so cool!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kids love to watch kids!, December 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: All By Myself, "Getting Dressed" Volume 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My granddaughter loved watching all these children getting dressed - she started trying to put on her own shoes and clothes - she also loved the little Ladybug character - fun, upbeat music. A great show & learn video for your children/grandchildren.

Have you ever thrown up your parental hands in despair saying "But I've tried everything..." I did, and then I discovered this video and was reminded that kids learn best by watching other kids!! This video is a must-have in your library of parental teaching tools. (The kids are cute too and very real and believable.)
