We love bear in our house and especially on the DVD format. It is the only way to go with kids movies. The added features the DVD verion offers makes it worth the few extra dollars. It has sing a longs and 3 story selections which make it great when you are trying to make a squirmy toddler sit still. Quick and easy and totally cute. My son love the "everybody say ah" and the " hello doctor song" we had to play them over and over and over again. A good buy with three great episodes and awesome happy songs.

This VHS has been a big stress reliever for this family. My son has had to endure allergy tests, blood drawn, multiple x-rays, ER visits and a CT-scan. He is only 23 months old. To say the least he does not like doctors or hospitals.

This video really helped us explain to him about going to the doctor and getting x-rays. He still is not thrilled about going to the doctor but he does not get hysterical anymore. We don't have to hold him down for the doctor to look in his ears or his mouth. For the ENT he even said "ah" which surprised the doctor. He had never seen a child that small say "ah." Thank you Doc Hog for "Everybody Say Ah." The ouch song has come in handy in the ER before too.

So if your little one doesn't like the doctor get this video. The ENT said he was getting it for his waiting room.

I was so pleased to see this video released! When my toddler and I first saw the episodes on Disney, they provided wonderful opportunities to discuss trips to the doctor and what my child could expect. Now that we have the video, we make a point of watching it before any doctor's appointment. One of the episodes deals with "emergency" trips to the doctor when Tutter hurts his tail. The other episode stresses the importance of preventive medicine - Doc Hogg pays a visit to the Big Blue House to give everyone check-ups. Of course, these wouldn't be Bear shows if they didn't have catchy little tunes. The songs in these episodes are wonderful.

This is one of the finest Bear episodes, from the "golden age" of the Bear series. Chris Moore's dialogue is, as always, remarkably fresh and vibrant. He is the most underrated tv children's story writer in the business.

Great DVD! My daughter loves it. Teaches kids about well and sick visits. Talks about vaccinations, in kid terms.

My two year old just loves "Big House" as he calls it, and likes this one better than any of the others we own, including Blues Clues and Elmo, which is saying a lot!! He actually ASKS to go to the doctor's office after watching it. If I need to do any housework, I just put the show in, and don't have to worry about him getting bored. It is awesome!!

As always, I'm a little disappointed at the amount of song, footage, and theme reuse on the various bear videos, but my 210 month old daughter seems to love them! Bear helps kids to feel good about shots, exams, and visiting the doctor's office.

My daughter is almost 3 and LOVES Bear in the Big Blue House. This DVD is more substantial than a lot of other children's DVD's out there... it's got this Montessori-ish way of teaching kids, i.e. not focusing so much on ABC's and stuff, but preparing children for life. It also is longer than most DVD's, and of higher quality as well. The singing is very good (especially Shadow) and the atmosphere of the DVD is relaxing and soothing on the whole. I am glad I gave it a try for my daughter, and couldn't be more pleased with how much she loves it and the quality of the content.

We purchased the older DVD that is just like this and as parents we love bear and the gang. Old Doc Hog is really funny. Bear really knows how to communicate with the children. My son and daughter love him and they have enjoyed him since they were less than a year. Both of my children (4 years and 14 mo) were first attracted to the song at the end of the show, sung by Bear and Luna (the moon). It is one of the best shows and I really enjoy watching bear myself. It is a DVD that can be enjoyed over and over again. I also recommend the Shapes, Sounds and Colors which is the first one I would recommend for a young child around one or younger to start with, then this DVD would be a definate for your DVD collection. But all the Bear DVDS and Videos are wonderful and funny even for a parent. You just can't get enough of Bear and his friends. You'll really enjoy watching it with your children. If you want to get a taste of this show check out the Disney Channel schedule (playhouse Disney) early in the morning. Athough there is nothing better than watching it at your own convenience which is why we have collected all of the DVD's. So we can watch Bear anytime. Check it out, you won't be sorry.

Just say ow, say it now. Just say ow, and it's over. Just say ow, say it now Just say ow, and it's over!

Some things that are good for you hurt a bit, it's true.

So, just saw ow, say it now, just say ow and it's over!

Ow!

I am 14 and enjoy viewing videos that tell kids that a visit to the doctor is not as bad as they think it will be. This particular one is wonderful for kids who are nervous about checkups. When Ojo is nervous about getting a shot, Bear teaches her the above song, and it was over before Ojo knew it. Buy this video for your child!!
