5.0 out of 5 stars A Roaring Good Time!, June 2, 2001

This review is from: Between the Lions [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Between the Lions Presents the Vowels" contains some of the very best episodes of the Between the Lions teaching programs. I just happened to come upon this unique PBS Kids program while taking care of my 2 year old grandson. We both fell in love with the fast paced, enormously entertaining and highly educational program. The Lion Family seems to capture the attention of my grandchildren ages 2 to 7. Even their parents find it to be one of the best educational programs on television today. I find it so delightful that I sit down and watch the antics of all the characters along side my grandson. I only allow 1 hour of television a day and "The Lions" as he calls it is what he asks for. Each video covers one of the vowels and it focuses on that vowel in a variety of fun and entertaining ways. The music is upbeat and the characters are absolutely hilarious! No wonder this program has received numerous prestigious awards such as the Parents' Choice "Gold Award" and The Television Critics Associations' "Outstanding Achievement in Children's Programming Award. I have yet to find a more creative program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tapes! Educational and Fun, November 28, 2002

My kids just love these tapes and I even enjoy watching them. Very cleverly done, mixing different ways of teaching reading as well as different levels of difficulty. I thought my kids would lose interest after they started reading but they haven't. I like that the words are spelled on the screen so the kids see the letters as well as hearing them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rockin' good time with The Lost Rock!, April 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Between the Lions [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My daughter has loved this show since she was under a year. She still may not understand how to spell yet, but she loves to dance to the songs and laughs at many of the characters. From tooth to fish, my daugher is soaking informaiton up, and loving it. Her favorite is 'The Lost Rock'. I agree, it has the best songs to dance to. I just wish there were more videos available. I'll watch those lions over Barney any day.
