The popular Nickelodeon Jr. show for the 2-4 age group does an excellent job of introducing simple vocabulary and numerical concepts in these two episodes. In the first, Steve and his dog Blue's house is labeled to discover what book Blue wants to have read to her. The labels (everything from "refrigerator" to "wall") are treated lightly, Steve mostly asking the audience to name the first letter of each word. Steve and Blue also work on constructing a simple sentence. In the second episode, Blue wants to buy something. Simple counting games and a shopping trip to The Present Store make for a solid exploration of numbers. Addition, subtraction, and even fractions are on the menu.

Hi, This video is our daughters favorite. This one we have purchased a second copy of. We thought videos could not be worn out, especially after we only bought this copy 9 months earlier. This gets watched by our 2 year twice daily EVERY day. From a parents point of view it's a great learning tool for kids and fun with the "absorbing" quality that gets kids everytime. How sad it is, that we find ourselves sitting down too and watching it almost daily. This edition is the favorite, as we have 2 others. It covers ABC and 123's and although we have read other reviews with parents saying their 3 year old and under not suitable, we must admit that our 2 year old loves it. I guess every child develops differently and each to their own. One thing is for sure ... it's better than Teletubbies and you actually learn something here with Blue, Steve and the gang!
My sons 23 months and he loves Blues Clues he just learned all the alphabet and i think now it's time for him to be able to recognize letters if he sees them it's even better that he has his favorite cartoon caracter teaching it to him this tape to me is perfect i ordered it last week and the day i recieved it he watched it 7 times and started saying things like mommy thats a C-H-A-I-R and it made me so happy i will diffently recommend this to all parents and the 1 2 3,s part is just as educational i really give blue and steve two thumbs up they really did there thing with this one GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am glad I got this video! My nephew really likes this one cause he likes ABCs and he loves to count, so he enjoys the Math episode on this movie! I was surprised when I got this, The cover was in much better condition than I've seen from these videos! The viewing is also Great!
My son is 1 1/2 yr old, and is already a big fan of "Blues Clues". "ABC's and 123's" is just one of the many videos we have for him to watch over and over, and even though he is too young to really learn from the education standpoint, he still appreciates Blue, and all their friends. The music and cartoon characters all seem to keep his attention, and now that he has been watching for awhile, they are all like old friends. Blue, Sidetable drawer, mailbox(he loves the mailtime song),and all the other characters they meet in each episode entice him into keeping his eyes on the screen. I don't think he is a big lover of Steve. Steve comes off as very goofy. He is trying to have fun and be a friend to children, but to me it comes off way too goofy, and I think even my son sees this too. "Blue's Clues" itself has been a huge commerical success and the marketing for it amazes me. They have every single toy you can think of. My baby is already being sucked in by the media frenzy!!! eeek!!! Anyway, this is a fun video, and he will have it for a long time as in another year he will really be listening and learning. He does learn now, he picks up words here and there. The overall lessons taught though are far beyond what he can grasp. Still recommended!!! Toddlers will love the cartoon characters and music..and they will be watching for a few years... Eileen Famiglietti
Although there was a problem with the original item not reaching me, the Thrifty Bunny made sure that I received a replacement. I would highly recommend this seller. Blues Clues VHS tapes (yes, VHS tapes) are a favorite of my grandson, so I was glad to find this one.
はじめてみたBLUE'S CLUESです。 前半はアルファベットの紹介というか、スペル・リーディングの導入・文章の組み立て方について。でもNICK JR.のおなじみキャラクター”FACE"が最初にABCの歌を歌ってくれます。 TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STARを一緒に読んだり、文章を正しく並び替えたりします（ここが特によく出来ています）。 当時1歳半だった息子は”AGAIN! AGAIN!"と何度も何度も繰り返し見たがり、1週間後には台詞を家族中が丸暗記してしまったほど。 いつもとちょっと違うのは、すべてのものにスペルが書かれていること。STEVEお兄さんの背中にまで！ おかげでしばらく私と夫はわざと”Can you get me a P.A.P.E.R?" や、”I saw J.I.M. with his girlfriend today."などといって遊んでいました。 後半は簡単な足し算・引き算をわかりやすく教えてくれます。 内容的には5~6歳向きかもしれませんが、私の英語教室の生徒さん（1歳~10歳）からは年齢を問わず大絶賛です。 絶対絶対オススメの1本です！ 特に”うちの子は日本語じゃないと見ない”と言うお母様方。 試していただきたいです！
