This has become the GO to bedtime story for the kids (2 and 4) - they love it! The book is very simple and repetitive (in a good way for them). The DVD is short and the song matches the words in the book. They love the song and I try to match the tune when I read the book to them. The DVD video will play over and over in a loop so it is hard to stop it ("just one more time mommy!") without dissappointing them. There really is not much to the DVD; just the single song. Very happy with the purchase though as I have been with every TMBGs kids album.

There isn't as much to this package as there was to Bed, Bed, Bed, I admit -- just one book and one DVD, featuring one song with an animated video. But it's very charming. The song is, of course, ridiculously catchy and fun, and the book illustrates the lyrics in a wonderfully dynamic way, almost bringing the DVD to life on the pages. The drawings by Pascal Campion have a lively looseness that reminds me of the style of Roy McKie, one of my favorite children's illustrators. And of course, the lyrics are brilliant; we would expect no less of the two Johns.

If you've never exposed your child to the joys of TMBG, I would start with Here Come the ABCs or Here Come The 123s. If your kids are already fans, this will be a great addition to your collection. But with lyrics like "If you're still not standing up, then get up now and go, go, go, GO, GO!", make sure you don't read it at bedtime!

We have all the TMBG albums (i.e. 123's, ABC's, Science, No!, and Bed) and they are all AWESOME, with great songs and great DVD animation to go along with the songs. But this book is super LAME. "Stand up, jump like a monkey, jump like a jumping bean"...that is the entire song. Every pages of the book is just a repeat of this. I am very disappointed that TMBG would put their name to something that is so simple...what a rip-off. Better to stick with the "Here Comes..." DVDs and skip this one.

This product shipped immediately and arrived surprisingly quickly in brand-new condition as promised. The book is pure TMBG and entertaining for all.

Been in the dark about this group. Found out about their children's songs and books and bought a set for each of my grandchildren! They all loved them!

This is a great DVD book combo! My daughter didn't need any help following the song's directions, she immediately started to Go! Go! Go!

Anyone with young kids knows that they NEED to get up and run/jump. This is a good way to direct the extra energy without too much chaos.

I found this at a sale price, but I would have paid more--even if it is only 1 song. Don't buy this expecting a full DVD, though it does run on a loop so be prepared to stop it when you've had enough of your child jumping around.

If you enjoy They Might Be Giants then buy this book!

My girls (4 & 8) love this book, and DVD set. It is really silly and fun, good price too!

Great book for younger children. This is a book of activity based content. As always, TMBG delivers - you will not be disappointed (and nether will the children).

Bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter as she loves her They Might Be Giants DVD's. This was well worth it, she loves jumping to the music and taking "dance breaks". She especially likes grandma to get up off the lazy couch and "essersize" with her!

I'm a huge TMBG fan, but was pretty disappointed in this book/dvd. I expect more from them.
