Bear introduces youngsters to the world of work in this trio of episodes from the popular series Bear in the Big Blue House. Suave and soothing, our gentle host explains that work is important and can be enjoyable when friends tackle a job together. In the first segment, Tutter learns that work has many definitions, whether it's tidying toys, picking berries, or working on a railroad. Lively sing-alongs accompany the second story, including a jazzy, bubblicious tune, "Clean Up the House," as Bear helps his friends scrub their rooms, and themselves, with brushes and buckets. Later, in "We Did It Our Way," Bear teaches the otters a lesson in teamwork as a way of problem solving, before singing a blues rendition of "Cooperation." Expect repeat showings of this Jim Henson gem that will inspire kids toward wiggly fun, hopefully with a broom in hand. Ages 3 to 5. --Lynn Gibson

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn To Be Tidy With The Best Bear Around!, June 29, 2002

By	Sallie A. Martin (OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bear in the Big Blue House - Tidy Time With Bear [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great tape for any child that loves bear and/or has trouble with being tidy.

This tape includes two back-to-back episodes of cleanliness. The first one shows the day in the life of Bear, and his daily chores that he must do every day to keep harmony in the big blue house. He explains many different kinds of work, and how working pays off. In the second episode, Bear plans to take a day for himself when he receives a surprise phone call telling him that his house is the Woodland House Wonderful "house of the month". As thrilled as Bear is, he suddenly realizes that his day of rest is now becoming a day of cleaning. Luckily his pals, Ojo, Pip,Pop,Tutter, and Treelo all agree to join him and clean up the house. After all their hard work, come the baths and lunch, and they are so exhaused by the time Mrs. Vanderpreene comes to take the pictures that they don't think they'll have any fun. But their time with her makes the whole effort worth while.

I am using this tape right now with my two year old. She was having problems with not picking up her toys. Having this video for her to watch has improved her cleaning abilities greatly! She loves Bear and all his colorful friends. The songs "Rub-A-Dub-Dub Everybody In The Tub", "Brush-Brush-Bree", and "Clean Up The House" keep my daughter moving and motivated. As a parent I highly recommend this video for your child, it's a great way to teach them some values, but have fun at the same time!

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS NOW!!!, November 25, 2003

By	Mommy to a 2 year old (Big Apple,New York United States) - See all my reviews

This purchase was the BEST ONE ever made. I bought this for my daughter when she was just a few months old and we've worn it out. She's now 2 and sings the songs perfectly. My husband and I also sing with her. She helps me clean up the house and in the bathtub she sings the bath songs. Bear and the gang also sing the cutest brush your teeth song and my daughter will brush her teeth on her own whenever I sing it to her. All of Bear's dvd's are great , we absolutely adore him. Bonus: Continuous play mode. Bless the individuals who came up with that. Just a quick note: Potty time, Shapes & Colors and Everybody's Special are so entertaining for adults (you are singing those songs like it or not) and educational for the little ones. Worth every penny

5.0 out of 5 stars My kid loves this stuff, August 18, 2003

By	Sannah Zay "suncat23" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews

My daughter is almost 3 and LOVES Bear in the Big Blue House. This DVD is more substantial than a lot of other children's DVD's out there... it's got this Montessori-ish way of teaching kids, i.e. not focusing so much on ABC's and stuff, but preparing children for life. It also is longer than most DVD's, and of higher quality as well. The singing is very good (especially Shadow) and the atmosphere of the DVD is relaxing and soothing on the whole. I am glad I gave it a try for my daughter, and couldn't be more pleased with how much she loves it and the quality of the content.
