5.0 out of 5 stars this is one thing I don't have to worry about baby absorbing, October 15, 1999

By	Mary B Allenbaugh ([e-mail]) (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

I enjoy watching as much as m 8 month old does! Witty and fun, Bear keeps Abby's attention. She squeals and wiggles around when she hears the theme song. We have all of the videos so far, and we'll continue buying them as they come out. Bear is going to be right there to reinforce the lessons I teach her. He is the best thing to come around sinc the Binky!

Bear is a great show!! This video (I own them all) is full of wonderful music & colors that captivates any child's imagination. This show is educational & fun at the same time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everyone has a birthday..., July 25, 2000

By	Veronica L Hall (Leetonia, OH United States) - See all my reviews

Bear and his friends at the Big Blue House really know how toparty! They love to give SURPRISE parties, and teach about keepingsecrets and making a plan. Tree-lo feels bad about wishing it was his birthday instead of Tutter's, and Bear explains why getting to be one year older is important. My only gripe is a minor one... Bear tells his friends he just wants to do 'nothing' on his birthday. But they surprise him with a party anyway. I'd like my son to respect what others express to him. But you gotta love the Big Blue House Birthday Song... "Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthday Birthday!..." We still can't stop singing it!
