Finally a fun and engaging series about geography for kids and the rest of us. All the tunes are catchy, all the locations visited are fascinating, and all the travel guides are charming. This is so much fun to watch, to sing along with, and to learn about far away places. I hope this company continues to make these wonderful dvds; I will buy them all. They would be great for use in classroom instruction, libraries, or simply to view at home. It's a great way to get kids interested in the world.

When I bought this I was thinking that they would have colorful, real pictures of the places travelled to with animated characters to keep the kids entertained (kind of like National Geographics Geo Kids videos). I don't think my kids get the full feel of visiting places around the world through all the busy cartoon animation. Good video, but not what I was expecting.

My 2 kids love this DVD. It's animation is well done and the songs are entertaining without being obnoxious. Both my 3 year old and 5 year old enjoyed it and they learned alot of about the world, history, culture, and geography. My 3 year old now knows the 7 continents! This DVD really opened their eyes to travel and all of the amazing things to explore in our world. We can't wait to watch the 2nd DVD, which we just bought.

This is a very well-done set of animated pieces about different places around the world. The animation is very cute, the lyrics are very clever, and the music is enjoyable. It is not "dumbed down" in any way for kids, but there is a lot for them to enjoy in it. Parents can also learn a little about geography and history, as well!
Our toddler loves to watch it, but it would also be great for getting older kids interested in culture and travel.

My son is familiar with the World map and the globe and all the seven continents since he was 16 months old. When I learned about this video I immediately purchased it and indeed it's a great complement and supplement to what he's already learned! At 21 months old, he's been around the World vicariously! His favorite of all places is Timbuktu!!! He keeps asking me to rewind back to the country of Mali to see Timbuktu again (5X !!ugh) Then Turkey and then Nepal! And Egypt! ... I had to play this video about 3 times everyday and even I'm enjoying it! -- and oh he loves Paris when it mentioned the Mona Lisa painting and Artists Monet and Renoir since he's already familiar with them also!

If you want to introduce young children to world geography and culture, this WeeBee Tunes Get Your Passport DVD is ideal. Using high quality music and lovable characters, this DVD takes you to key cities on each of the continents and highlights different aspects of the culture. This is not an in-depth study of geography but a gentle introduction presented in a manner that will appeal to both children and adults. I watch this video over and over with my son and am always entertained.

I bought this for my 6 year old son. I don't know that it was a great teaching tool, but he did like the videos and they were at least a good review of things we had already covered in our geography studies. All in all I was pleased with the purchase.

My son's kindergarten class has this video and the kids love it. They sing all the songs all the time. A great education tool on expanding your child's knowledge of the world!

The one reviewer was confused about what is is: its kind of a Schoolhouse Rock goes on tour.

Its educational and entertaining with catchy tunes.

My children (almost 4 and 5) love this video "as much as Diego". For them that is saying a lot. I love it because it makes geography fun, introduces the continents, and has delightful songs. Each continent is represented by a different animal. The animal takes you on a tour of something on his or her continent. Sometimes they meet (like in Istanbul) at places that are near or in two continents. The songs show the flavor of the area. Some of the places covered are more obscure (the Grand Bazaar) while others are more familiar (London). I thought there was nice variety.
