Wee Sing creators Pamela Beall and Susan Hagen created their series of live-action videos to teach families the joy of music while renewing interest in traditional children's songs. Silly, wholesome, and contagiously fun, Wee Sing films combine simple melodies with engaging story lines so younger children can easily sing along. In this episode, more than 20 favorite nursery rhymes accompany a rollicking celebration for King Cole's birthday. Jack and Jill, Little Boy Blue, and Mary (with her little lamb) journey to London for the party, meeting Humpty Dumpty, Six Little Ducks, and Little Bo Peep along the way. The children bring special presents for King Cole, who in turn leaves them with a reminder that "gifts from the heart are the best gifts of all." While parents may cringe at the mawkishly sentimental plot, kids will sit in rapt attention (not unlike the charming spell of a well-known purple dinosaur). And while youngsters sing the folk songs, nursery rhymes, and silly songs, Wee Sing imparts the hidden benefits of music to wee ones: coordination, language, rhythm, melody, matching tones, and thinking skills. (Ages 2 to 8) --Lynn Gibson

5.0 out of 5 stars A Daily Treat, May 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: King Cole's Party [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My two year old requests this video every day. It was a birthday gift from my cousin whose own children wore out their copy. He has already learned most of the songs. They have created a story around wonderful old nursery rhymes that every child should learn. We are now looking for other Wee Sing videos, hoping to entice him with more stories and songs.

3.0 out of 5 stars The best first half hour of any Wee Sing tape, April 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: King Cole's Party [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As I said, the first half hour of this tape is the greatest. My toddler and I both love it, and that's saying alot for a baby tape :-). It features lots of nursery rhymes placed into a fun plot that has enough adult humor to keep me from tearing my hair out. However, after that, this tape has far too much story for my child to follow, and very little singing to boot. We tend to rewind after 30 minutes and watch the beginning again. Perhaps a child over 2 would enjoy this tape in its entirety. We shall see...
