Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

A rainy day does not necessarily need to be a dreary one. Little Bear and his friends certainly know how to brighten those dark and dampened hours. And you are invited to join them in these four festive rainy-day fables.

The Rain Dance Play: Little Bear and his friends discover that putting on a play takes a lot of preparation and practice. During their performance of "The Rain Dance Play," they discover that a play can be magical too!
Hiccups: A rainy morning forces Little Bear, Cat, Hen, Duck, and Owl to play inside. However, Father and Mother Bear want a peaceful rainy morning indoors. Little Bear and his friends need to keep quiet, but how can they when Little Bear can't stop hiccupping?
Mitzi's Mess: A rainy day moves Little Bear, Owl, and Mitzi's outdoor games inside. When Mitzi's toy airplane turns Little Bear's house into a terrible mess, they must work together to clean up before Mother Bear returns.
The Puddle Jumper: After a rain shower, Little Bear and Duck go outside to play in the puddles. When Little Bear tries to jump over Duck's puddle and accidentally ruins it, the two friends must embark upon a journey together to find their own perfect puddles.

- The Puddle Jumper
- Caterpillars
- Follow the Leader
- Little Bear's Mermaid
- Hop Frog Pond
- Duck, Babysitter

It is such a relaxing & tranquil show my son loves to watch it before he takes his nap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for any day,,,not just a rainy day!!!, October 31, 2005

This review is from: Little Bear - Rainy Day Tales (DVD)

First, if your child loves Little Bear on Noggin or Nick Jr, he or she will love this DVD, because it is comprised of many short episodes like on TV, so it doesn't lose their attention. Second, you will love it too because it is a great value! You get about 2 hours of episodes, whereas the usual children's DVD is only 45 minutes or an hour. As you know, Little Bear teaches great lessons about friendship and kindness. This DVD is great for any day, not just a rainy day!

This review is from: Little Bear - Rainy Day Tales (DVD)

Our 4 year old and our 1 year old sit mesmerized by this DVD when we have it on. It is a remarkably long running DVD, compromised of many short episodes of Little Bear - such sweet story lines that capture the attention of little people.
