My third graders and I have just finished the Notes Alive video for On the Day you Were Born. We are all amazed. This was a superbly done video with excellent graphics and accompaniment. I can't begin to describe the looks on my students' faces as we watched the book come alive with such a brilliant video. I've attended one of Debra's workshops and was delighted to have an opportunity to share this adventure with my students. The book and tape are an excellent learning tool for any age student - preschoolers to adult! As a culminating activity, we are illustrating what we think the earth looked like on the day we were all born. Thank you Notes Alive and thank you Debra Frasier.

I gave this video to my 3-year old niece and we watched it together, along with her sister, who is seven. What an enjoyable 30 minutes - the author reads the story and the book comes to life with the sounds of the symphony. The 3-year old became antsy toward the end, but the 7-year old was able to identify different instruments in the symphony (video clips of the symphony cut in to the story). This is a good "sleepy-time" or "before bed" video. Delightful and I got a thumbs up from the dad, my brother. Good rec ... for that age group! I would love to buy the book now!
