I ordered this DVD for my 7 year old son. Also because I am the Bible School Director for my church and we are doing a "Rainforest Adventure" theme. This DVD is so well done . . . we have watched it several times. The colors, music and scenes are amazing . . we literally stop in our tracks and watch it. I can't wait to show it to the kids at VBS. Well done. My son especially likes the question and answer part of the DVD. Great music, great info. All around a good DVD for the price.

I bought this for my grandson,who is 7 and he loved it.The 3 year old loves it as well.It is very educational and fun for the whole family.It is interactive with questions asked throughout with games.The photography is stunning.I plan on getting others in this series right away.The adults enjoy it as well

I watched this dvd with my grandchildren and we all enjoyed it very much. The video is great and Dudley Moore's comments very entertaining.

This DVD was slightly disappointing.

While is beautiful and beautifully done it lacks any real educational value. It doesn't go into any depth about anything, it's a very broad overview and gives you just a couple of tidbits for each animal. It also has songs along the way. It's good for preschoolers or maybe little bit older kids that don't care much for science, but probably not for upper elementary kids.

When I asked my homeschooled 7 year old what he learned from it, he said "not much", because he knew most of it already. He was able to tell me what all it covered but also able to tell me where he had already learned it plus elaborate in more detail about the animals.

My 4 year old liked it though, which is rare, he's not as much of a TV watcher as my 7 year old and he normally only watches cartoon/puppet based shows. But this had enough entertainment to it to keep his interest. It was cute and entertaining and a good introduction to rain forest and its inhabitants.

This is a really fun video that I recommend for children. I bought it for my 6 year old granddaughter, and we enjoyed watching it together. It's very informative about the inhabitants of the rain forest in a fun format, and I appreciated that there were no gorey scenes when talking about who eats whom for lunch!

Cute movie with lots of good information presented in a format that keeps kids interested. Recommend for 7th grade and under, however the adults enjoyed it also.

What a great dvd! We got this for our son on his 5th birthday in anticipation of a trip to Costa Rica. He couldn't get enough of it! He thought Spin, the cartoon globe narrator (Dudley Moore) was hilarious and he was transfixed by the stunning photography. We adults learned a lot too, and it set us all up for getting the most out of our trip. Our tour guides were quite impressed when this little five year old was spitting out facts about every animal we saw.

We rented this during a unit study on rainforests. My 7 year old son really enjoyed it. It's very informative, and has some nice songs. The little "Earth" character who narrates is pretty funny, my son laughed a lot. I don't give a full 5 stars because it has some evolutionary junk on it.

Bought this for my 7 yr old cousin. Thought this would be something he would enjoy. He did.
