Curious kids want to know all about the world around them, no matter the status of their passports. Wee Bee Tunes wacky travel guides, like Alexander Salamander and Cuddly Wuddly Wombat, make enthusiastic tour leaders, accompanying viewers ages 4 through 10 on a musical journey that traverses the world. Historical backgrounds, customs, famous festivals, and major tourist attractions are touched upon for countries like England, Antarctica, Egypt, and the United States. Who could resist a day of shopping at Istanbul's world famous Grand Bazaar in the company of Mae Lin Yak, or a trip down the Amazon River with Oswaldo the Soccer Otter? An onscreen map shows the location of each continent and country, while bright animation and lively, original songs in a variety of styles keep children interested and attentive. This 40-minute program presents basic information about 14 countries in an entertaining, musical format. --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's Go!, September 8, 2004

By	woman of the world (morton grove, IL USA) - See all my reviews

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much animation, March 22, 2005

By	H. Barrieau (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and opens childen's minds, November 3, 2004

By	Liz (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews

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.
