5.0 out of 5 stars Bear Is WONDERFUL For Small Kids, September 20, 2000

By 

Bridget Cyre (Carmel, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bear in the Big Blue House: A Berry Bear Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I cannot even begin to express how much I love Bear! Sometimes I think I might like him even more than my 3 year old does. The show manages to teach a little of everything a young child needs. I really like that they manage to teach morals & kindness in a way that appeals to children. They also have a knack for helping with life issues as well, I think my daughter may still be in diapers if it wasn't for "Potty Time With Bear"! We used the songs, sayings, & imagery from the video while potty training & it really took the stress out. I can't say enough good things about this show. Jim Henson would be proud I'm sure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharing And Helping, September 12, 2001

By 

"kids_first2" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bear in the Big Blue House: A Berry Bear Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

First-rate production, quality couldn't be better. Playful way of teaching children about sharing and helping. Homelessness is gently broached with Bear kindly bringing a homeless dog into the house. Sends a subtle message of diversity and good will."I love the big Bear!" "It was so nice to see how Bear helped that dog and the dog got his wish and found a home to live in." "Bear made us think about helping others during Christmas, that it's better to give." "I would like to see a Kwanzaa." Ages 2-5.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Video, Terrible Quality..., December 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bear in the Big Blue House: A Berry Bear Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

We just purchased this one for our Bear-loving kids, and it's typical GREAT Bear quality in content. I'm sure we'll watch it again and again (and again). But I had to come online and check out the reviews here. Our VHS tape is extremely poor quality! My husband immediately asked if something was wrong with the TV--because the colors looked muted. But it's the tape. Grainy picture, washed-out colors. It looks like these were mass-produced the worst way--it reminds one of a bootleg tape, actually!

Forgive me for reviewing the picture quality instead of the content, but I thought other buyers would like to know before they purchase. I doubt the kids will care, and now that I see that other buyers have had this problem, we won't be taking it back to the store. But honestly, I wish they had a DVD of this one! They may soon, and when they do, we'll be replacing this VHS pronto.
