5.0 out of 5 stars great fun and full of information, June 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: National Geographic's Really Wild Animals: Wonders Down Under [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video includes excellent footage of Australia's amazing animal life: creatures you don't find anywhere else on earth. The songs are fabulous! I taught the Marsupial Rap to my first grade class and they loved it. Kangaroos, Frilled Lizards, Tazmanian Devils, and others will fascinate both adults and children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining! Great for all ages., November 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: National Geographic's Really Wild Animals: Wonders Down Under [VHS] (VHS Tape)

National Geographic has done a fabulous job of presenting information in a very fun, lively way. This video is full of amusing commentary by the narrator (the kids may not understand all the jokes, but as an adult I appreciate the cleverness). The songs are upbeat and enjoyable. The up-close film footage of the animals is excellent, as you would expect from National Geographic. No matter what your age, you will enjoy this video -- my two-year-old laughs while watching it and I find myself joining the kids on the couch to watch the fascinating animals of Australia.
