The Best of the Best Baby Reading Program Vedios!, September 3, 2005
The bumble bee "Vocabulary Builder 1-5" videos are excellent. They helped my 18-mon son to speak and read greatly. Every word is so well illustrated in the vedio! The best part of them: My son loves these videos so madly and therefoer learned words from them so quickly!!! There are about 23 words in each vedio.
And the "Vocabulary Builder 1-3" have 5 multilanguage that you can choose: English, French, Spanish, German, and Japanese. That is 5-in-1 that can save you lots of money. They also have other extra benefits features such as "sign language" and "Question & answer"!
The "Motorized Madness" is also good, it has 10 machines such as "airplane, bulldozer, dump truck, backhoe loader, helicopter, bucket truck, boat, motlecycle, fire truck, and bus." It also explains each part of the machine, like the wings, propellers, engine, cab...
The baby bumble bee surely produce the best of the best infant and kids reading program vedios in the market--as good as Dr. Titzer's "Your baby can read 1-5" DVDs and Dr. Glenn Dorman's "How to teach your baby to read" book.
I love baby bumble bee's "Opposites", "Motorize", "Actions words 1-3" and "vocabulary builders 1-5" the most. Highly recommended!

very good, December 30, 2007
This series of dvd,s are great.The kids love them.They actually watch them.My grand-kids used to repeat the words,now they say the words when they see the objects on the screen. My first purchase of this series was a video tape for a child I was caring for. He is autistic and was a late talker,we really enjoyed watching it together. Since then I have purchased three more for my own grand-kids and a friend. I would buy them again as gifts.

Held baby's attention from 4 months to 15 months and counting..., October 27, 2009
This entire Baby Bumblebee series is excellent for babies aged 3 months to 3 years. Babies love to see and hear other kids and other babies on the television with the objects and names of things that they are learning. The music is catchy for babies and young toddlers as well. My infant son started watching these videos at around 4 months of age when we purchased the entire set.
We ordered:
Baby Bumblebee Vocabulary 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5
Baby Bumblebee Action Words 1, 2, & 3
Baby Bumblebee Words Around the House (3 separate disks)
Baby Bumblebee Question Words
Baby Bumblebee Opposites
Baby Bumblebee Olivia and Otis
Baby Bumblebee Crazy for Colors
Baby Bumbebee 123's (disks 1 & 2)
Baby Bumblebee ABC's
Baby Bumblebee Motorized Madness
Age 3 Months & Up: My Baby Loved (Still does love)...Baby Bumblee
Vocab 1-5
Action Words 1-3
Crazy for Colors (this was especially a favorite)
ABCs
123s (disk 1 and 2)
Opposites (another favorite)
Age 1 Year & Counting (Up to 36 Months): My Baby (now 15 months) Loves...Baby Bumblebee
Words Around the House (3 disks) (now a favorite)
Question Words (now a favorite)
Olivia and Otis (now a favorite)
He still watches every second of Baby Bumblebee DVDs intently anytime they are on. He got interested in the Baby Bumblebee Words Around the House, Question Words, and Olivia and Otis around age 1, and now these hold his attention completely just as the other instantly loved when younger Baby Bumblebee DVD's still do.
Note to all: He never has liked Baby Bumblebee Motorized Madness at all...think that DVD is the one bust in the set so don't waste your money purchasing that DVD. I have played it once a month since purchasing it and my infant (now a toddler) just walks off with a look of disgust on his face to find something else to do the second it comes on. He also looks rather irked that I am giving him the opportunity to show interest in what is in his opinion, an awful show. Guess he doesn't need to see it again as his opinion hasn't budged an inch when it comes to the Motorized Madness DVD from this set. He hated it when he saw it the first time, and he's walked off to avoid wasting his time seeing it again ever since.
The rest of the Baby Bumblebee DVDs are great though. My son stands right in the center of the living room absorbing every minute of baby shows he's allowed to watch, and in return, he gets clean bottles and clean laundry now that I have a little bit of time to do those things here and there since finding this Baby Bumblebee DVD series. Every mom needs a little help or a short break here and there. Anyone who would criticize a mom for being human and chide her for using a DVD to "babysit" her child for short periods of time here and there doesn't have kids...maybe an early childhood education degree (even I took one of those easy electives in college for the easy A) and perhaps even lots of untested theories, but no kids for sure. Further, Baby Bumblebee DVDs use real time footage with real kids, so the interactions in the DVDs aren't jumping from clip to clip so fast so as to contribute towards the formation of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). Other lunatic (in my humble opinion after lots of research) theories about children under 3 developing problems with depth and dimension perception if allowed to watch too much TV that is 2 dimensional...well, we'd almost all have problems with this if there was any salt behind such theoristic ideas and rather poorly done studies. We haven't found another baby shows series to even come close to matching his level of interest than Baby Bumblebee. My son is not at all autistic, but he does like to learn with the combination of visual, auditory, and repeats of words and phrases that this set employs. Combination learning is highly effective in terms of long term memory tasks. We highly recommend this entire set. You should finally be able to make a phone call or pay some bills when you need a small break from entertaining baby and need something to entertain him or her. We spent a lot of money ordering the entire Baby Bumblee set, but it turned out to be a good purchase...and that's more than I can say for most of the other series we've spent an arm and a leg purchasing. Even my 2-and-a-half-year-old niece watched this series intently when she was at my house visiting. The recommended ages are 3 months to 3 years...seems to be pretty accurate.
Other recomended baby series:
In the last month, my 15-month-old son has paid some attention to the Fisher Price Baby DVDs, Baby Nick Jr Curious Buddies DVDs (especially the At the Beach DVD...the others he pays little attention to), the Baby Einstein Signing DVD's (not the other Baby Einstein DVDs), a few of the First Impression DVD (he ignores most the DVDs in the set), half of the Brainy Baby DVDS (especially the numbers one in this set as it goes to 20 and that was new for him as the rest only go to 10), My Baby Can Talk (half pays attention to it at first), and he also really likes the Talking Hands DVD that is made by the same people who make the Brainy Baby DVDs (hand in a multi-colored 'I love you' sign on the cover). He ignored all cartoons and other shows until we found Baby Bumblebee. He hated and still hates Barney, Sesame Street, Clifford, Elmo, and all but 1 of the Baby Einstein DVDs (Signing one was okay) that we'd shown him before trying Baby Bumblebee. Other than these, I'm still searching for shows he might like. He's 15 months and seems to mainly like shows that show objects and name them. He must be really wanting to learn to say more words and have the names of ones he already does know reinforced by the Baby Bumblebee DVDs. People have told me how great the Baby Einstein DVDs are, but they are still not well liked by my 15 month old. For us, Baby Bumbleebee has provided months of educational and entertainment value for the amount spent. We've practically worn out the DVDs. Hope this helps some other parents trying to navigate the sea of baby shows out there to purchase. Unfortunately for us, we've got a library of different baby series at this point. The set of Baby Bumblebee is by far the best set of baby shows we've found to date.
