This review is from: Bear in the Big Blue House: Everybody's Special (DVD)

When I saw the three episodes of "Bear..." on this DVD I was very impressed. I have to say it turned the series into my favorite program to share with my son.

The disc starts with an episode dealing with Opposites, and it shows how important it is for opposites to exist, in order to completement us where we fall short (Bear's chat with Tutter in the kitchen when the mouse is struggling to reach a glass, and then Bear has a hard time reaching a spoon that he dropped under the fridge are a great example of this).

The second episode showcases Benny "the bat", a new fella to most of the animals in the Big Blue House, which gives most of them the creeps. As Bear and Treelo introduce them to the winged friend, they begin to realize that as different as he looks, they all share something in common with him.

Last, the closing episode emphasizes charity as a value, as the entire crowd in the house pulls together to organize a yardsale to benefit the muskrat's who lost their homes. Intertwined with some fun moments with Tutter's undecided about letting go some of his junk, this episode takes the whole concept home, leaving behind a trail of great benefit for your child to learn from.

After this DVD, I declare myself a fan of Bear! "Welcome to the Blue House!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, August 26, 2002

This review is from: Bear in the Big Blue House - Everybody's Special (DVD)

This is a great DVD, for our 2 year old as well as mom and dad. Our toddler loves to watch this day after day, despite the fact that he has it memorized. Bear is both informative and entertaining, and "Opposites" really solidified the concept for my toddler. Try the Bear music CDs - very sophisticated songs that keep parents and children entertained, especially on long road trips.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Son loves it!!, October 28, 2003

This review is from: Bear in the Big Blue House - Everybody's Special (DVD)

My 17 month old son loves this video. He would watch bear in the big blue house and Elmo all day if we did not turn it off. He even askes for it by name.. when standing by the tv he says "bear?". It is not something that a parent can watch too many times in one day as it gets old, but I find myself singing the songs with the show and dancing silly, but hey it makes my son laughs and that is all that I need.
