I LOVED this video - Children reacting naturally and spontaneously with an adorable variety of baby farm animals. We are softly, but informatively, guided through a fun day on a farm by Bunny and Teddy, the only animated creatures in this appealing children's film.

I ordered this video based on the 2 glowing customer reviews, and because my 2 1/2-year-old loves farm animals... so I was shocked at how truly horrible it is! My first reaction was, "Refund!" The animals and farm setting appears to have been filmed with someone's camcorder, and it's mostly narrated by 2 adults, using very unoriginal voice characterizations, posing as "Teddy" & "Bunny", which are actually stuffed animals being held up and bounced around in front of the camera. Later on, there is additional narration about the animals by a normal-speaking adult, which is fairly interesting, and the baby animals are of course very cute... however, the video is generally ruined by the horrendously amateur production & banal stuffed toy characters. You'd be much better off investing in a camcorder, going to a local farm or petting zoo, & making your child a similar video yourself! THUMBS DOWN!

Being a Larry myself, I had to give this a try. My two-year-old loves it, and the songs are catchy yet not too sappy. Recommended.
