Well produced, fun and lively, this video combines puppets, animation and live action to bring the world of books to life. It is a great tool for beginning readers. "The producers have gone all out on making a well designed educational video." Children sang along with the songs and sounded out words aloud with the tape. "I liked the people reading to me and I could see the words." "It makes learning to read fun, like a game." "I want to go to the library." Best for ages 2 to 5.

I heartily recommend this video. My three year old is now starting to sound out words and happily singing the songs featured in this video. Plus it has appeal to "older" kids as well (I've seen a 7 year old watching with interest). Great story and very effective in teaching the kids something that can be pretty confusing. I will be buying all of these videos :)

Small children are not particular about what they watch... so why don't you be. I mean, why not educate your child while entertaining them!

We love BTL (and Magic School Bus) and watch the shows all the time; either on TV or on VHS.

My children (3 and 5; boy and girl) like them because of the fun characters and silliness. I like them because it is these shows are not just dribble.

And they seem to work. My just turned 5 year-old spells pretty darn well, and can read beginning primers.

"The Ram in the Pepper Patch" is my daughters favorite video (my son prefers "The Popcorn Popper" which is not currently available).

Five Stars. Top notch edu-tainment.

I have purchased three Read Between The Lions videos for my 19 month old son. He loves them! The music, the characters, the vivid colors, and action entertain him the entire 30 minutes. At this age they are little sponges soaking up information. He even identified a ram at the zoo after watching this video and said his "own version" of pepper patch. I was amazed at his application. You never know what they are learning. What better way to get chores done around the house and teach your child at the same time!
