5.0 out of 5 stars 3 yr old DD with autism LOVES this, February 23, 2006
Amazing! My DD loved this DVD instantly. The singing is great but the best part is the facial expressions she started immitating instantly. We've never been able to get her to do more than happy or silly and she would meltdown if anyone tried to teach her sad or crying. With this she did every facial expression! She really connected with this DVD from the first second Balloo (cute, cute!) came on the screen.

This is like Baby Bumblebee and Laurie Berkner from Jack's Music Show on Noggin combined into one and made especially for autism spectrum. GREAT FIND!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My AS boys were charmed , November 10, 2006
How wonderful to have entertainment specifically designed for our kids on the spectrum, so relaxing and soothing at the same time that it is educational: helping kids recognize different emotions in themselves and others. This DVD is very simple, apparently by design, so there is no distracting static. The teacher says "welcome to our music class" and my boys, (7 and 15, both on the spectrum) gladly join in, answering her questions and having a great time! I hope they make more of these!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful DVD, January 17, 2007
If I could give the perfect birthday gift for kids on the spectrum (any child really) it would be this DVD. It teaches children about different emotions. It attaches each feeling with face and sings about it! A must have!
