I ¢¾ this video. This is well worth every penny.

If you are/were a fan of "Bear in a Big Blue House" (Disney) then you'll love the character of Jake the Polar Bear and his silly sidekick, Stinky the Skunk.

Done in a talk show format each episode contains a music video, "Habitat Time", "Baby Talk", quizes and more.

As an adult even I learned a few interesting things watching the video.

The characters are a lot of fun (Armstrong the Chicken Hawk is funny). They are whimsical and very realistic.

I can see this quickly becoming a favorite with your child.

Bought this dvd for my nephew after he caught some episodes of the Animal Show with Stinky & Jake on another Jim Henson dvd 'The Song from the Cloud Forest & Other Earth Stories'. Being a young dino & animal enthusiast, he seemed to love them very much because the episodes mixes puppetry, music and real footages of animals. Each episode focuses on two selected animals and information on the animals are presented in a very kid friendly, humourous and imaginative way. Besides this, puppetry is used to stimulate a 'talk show' whereby invited guest animals are interviewed by Stinky and Jake with often hillarious results. Highly satisfied with the product and Amazon's service to foreign customers like me. However, if I may, could Amazon please look into another hugely popular Jim Henson series 'Dinosaur Train' recently being released on 3 separate dvds by PBS Kids because they are extremely difficult to find online (which is the only option for foreign customers). Two of the titles 'Dinosaurs Under the Sea' and 'Dinosaurs in the Snow' are available for pre-order from Amazon but the first dvd released 'Dino-Mighty Music' has not been available since pre-order status. Besides this, other online stores also do not have the stock for this title which is only availabe from the PBS Kids website which only caters to US orders. Thanks.
