With snowball fights, snow angels, and a trek to the North Pole, this is the perfect tape to motivate your youngster to get bundled up and go outdoors into the snow. In "Snowball Fight," Father Bear frowns over the family budget until Little Bear lures him outdoors for a snowy match. In the particularly charming tale "Winter Solstice," Emily and her grandmother join the extended Bear family in placing food in a tree for snow angels while singing the catchy song "Loves Winter." Later, the Bear family visits Emily and her grandmother for dinner in "Snowbound," only to get snowed in and share an evening of song, dance, and jokes. Finally, Little Bear and Duck go in search of the place where the snow comes from in "Little Bear and the North Pole." --Kimberly Heinrichs

5.0 out of 5 stars Snowball fights and hot soup, December 27, 2000

This review is from: Little Bear - Winter Tales [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My 32 month old daughter absolutely adores this video, especially the snowball fights. Very sweet, with calming "magic" for a very spirited little kid. What a refreshing change to see a video with no violence or negative behaviors. We can't wait to see other Little Bear tapes. However, the ten minutes of trailers for a Peanuts video and Rugrats is just awful.

This review is from: Little Bear - Winter Tales [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Little Bear" is one of the best children's shows on television. However, the recording quality of this tape is awful. It was intentionally recorded in EP/SLP mode to save on tape, and is grainy and has poor sound quality. Too bad.

This review is from: Little Bear - Winter Tales [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My children (ages 3 to 10) love the Little Bear videos. These stories are gentle and kindly and, of the handful of Little Bear videos that we have, this is their absolute favorite. The "Winter Solstice" episode is beautifully done; as a Christian parent, I've actually found this story helpful in explaining to my children what other people believe. It's about as "nonthreatening" as you can get. I cannot recommend these stories highly enough. While even Disney can come up with some pretty dark and creepy villains, the Little Bear tales are reliably pleasant, cheerful, wholesome, and good natured.
