5.0 out of 5 stars If they don't go to sleep, I don't go to sleep, February 3, 2006

This review is from: Fisher Price Little People Volume 3: Discovering Animals (VHS Tape)

I love the Little People videos. My daughter loved them as a toddler and still has the occasional hankering for them as a four year old. The Discovering Animals video was the first we got, it came along with a toy school bus, and it's still my favorite. It makes for nice evening viewing because it is calming.

I enjoy the claymation, and I like the fact that the Little People are generally good natured and benevolent. I do worry a little about reinforcing stereotypes in the character of Sonja Lee, the shy, obedient, soft-spoken Asian Little Person whose special gift is her empathic ability to communicate with animals.

The final episode on this tape is a nice bedtime sendoff. The zookeeper enlists the assistance of the Little People because he can't get his animals to fall asleep, "if they don't go to sleep, I don't go to sleep." They try rocking the animals to sleep. They try yawning them to sleep. When these methods fail, Michael comes up with one of his clever ideas, riding the zoo train into a magical nighttime sky of his magical creation. He draws stars and then scatters them into the sky. The effects are mesmerizing as the Little People look down from the levitating train. Maggie compliments Michael on his artistry; he nods calmly and says a soft, dulcet "thank you." The Zoo train continues on into the growing darkness and we are lulled into the closing credits by the slippery, serene falsetto of Aaron Neville singing the theme song.

This review is from: Fisher Price Little People Volume 3: Discovering Animals (VHS Tape)

We got this video as a bonus with a Little People playset. My son has enjoyed this and the other Little People videos since before he could walk. Although it does not teach academic subjects (like numbers and letters), it does teach the importance of being kind, polite, and considerate. My son, now 2 1/2, still enjoys these videos, perhaps because they bring to life the characters in the several Little People playsets he owns. Your children will not learn the "Three R's" from this video, but they will likely want to watch it again and again, especially if they already play with Little People toys.

The Fisher Price Little People videos are great for anyone with younger children. It is entertaining, eductional, well-done, and not so long it loses their interest. Recommend this product!
