5 comments about Soothing Sounds for Sleep.

1. It sounds just like staying in a beach house with the windows open. Puts the baby right to sleep (Daddy too). However, it does not play all the way through; only about 20 minutes. Also sometimes the track causes the IPOD to freeze.



2. We use this every night and every time I put him back to sleep at night after a feeding. Works like a charm to at least create a night time routine.



3. I play the rain on repeat every night for my 4 mth old and it helps keep her asleep. I also use it in the car when she is fussy.



4. My baby definitely liked this CD and it helps her to relax but it doesn't help to sleep as I expected. In fact she gets so interested in some of the "noises" that she keeps her eyes wide open. The quality of the sounds is very good and has a good variety.



5. This CD is awesome. We put my 3-month old to bed every night with this CD. Even if he doesn't fall asleep right away, it gets him moving in the right direction. Well worth it.

3 comments about Wonder Pets - Save the Dinosaur.

1. Episodes run about 10 minutes so it's perfect for preschoolers. Each episode presents a problem (a baby animal in trouble) and then a practical solution to solve that problem helping kids acquire new skills along the way.
   
   Save The Dinosaur: A dino gets stuck betweeen some rocks and can't get out. Teaches kids that oil (or slippery stuff) helps wiggle things loose.
   
   Save the Pigeon: A baby pigeon is stuck on the nose of the statue of liberty. Wonder Pets convince the pigeon that he needs to try. Even if it's hard, all you need to do is try.
   
   Good lessons for small kids.



2. The Wonder Pets fly onto the scene once again with "Save the Dinosaur!," featuring four fun episodes of the show. In this DVD, the wonder pets visit everywhere from the Statue of Liberty to the magical land of a dragon.
   
   The DVD's banner episode is "Save the Dinosaur! / Save the Pigeon!" This is a fairly interesting one in which they first travel to prehistoric times to save a dinosaur. They then visit the Statue of Liberty, where they find a baby pigeon who is stuck on the statue's nose and needs help flying. Music from this story is featured on the "Wonder Pets!" album release.
   
   The other episodes on the DVD are "Save the Dragon! / Save the Beaver!," "Save the Bee! / Save the Squirrel!" and "Save the Dolphin! / Save the Chimp!" The first two are fairly fresh content. The latter is one of the earliest episodes and aired as the series premiere in some markets. "Dragon! / Beaver!" and "Bee! / Squirrel!" are fine examples of the series in particular, taking the series in some new directions -- such as showing one of the human characters who lives in the classroom the pets inhabit, and using only instrumental music during the openings.
   
   
   I give this DVD 4 stars for its excellent program content. Unfortunately, this DVD once again continues the practice of the "Wonder Pets!" DVDs either not including decent special features or not including any at all. In this case, it includes the same old promos for other Nick Jr. shows, and that's it. It would be nice to get some extra content.



3. My Grandson spends four days a week with me and LOVES the Wonder Pets. Having a variety of episodes help keep him happy when the weather doesn't permit playing outdoors. Good for quiet time. . .each episode is short for his short attention span. A must for households with pre-schoolers.

1. pretty good, got this for my daughter and it gets 4 out of 5 stars

5 comments about Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 10.

1. Great Tunes, awesome music.
   CD came 2 days after ordering and in excellent condition.
   I will recommend this CD to all my friends.



2. I teach special needs high school students and recently bought this to add to my collection of CDs for free/social time. The CD is perfect for my class! The lyrics are all uplifting and positive yet much more age appropriate than some of the other things in my collection. Miley Cyrus, The Cheetah Girls, Jonas Brothers and the various cast members of the "High School Musical" movies are hugely popular with my kids and they appreciate the selections from their favorites. And this forty something teacher loves HEY THERE DELILAH by Plain White Tees. I will definitely be looking for other volumes of Radio Disney Jams in the near future. P.S. I haven't even tried the video of five of the songs that was included but it is nice to have too. There are fifteen songs on the regular CD.



3. Being a mom with kids that watch Disney, I love these CDs. I take them to work and let my students listen to them. I songs are fun. It's also neat to hear some music I hear from the Disney Channel.



4. Not only do my children ages 10 and 8 love this CD, but I love it as well!! This is definitely a CD for the whole family.



5. I really enjoyed the songs on the cd and the mmusic vidoes are awesome .

5 comments about Sesame Street: Halloween Bonus Pack.

1. I grew up watching Sesame Street and now my daughter is doing the same. She absolutely adores anything Sesame Street and if it's on TV, she stops what she's doing and runs to watch. She loves the Halloween DVD and watches it even though Halloween has passed. I'd recommend it to anyone that wants entertaining television that also teaches numbers and ABC's.



2. This is the first movie my 17 month old son insists that I play over and over. I also really like this special, I just wish they were longer. For those with small children, this is a great halloween treat. Good songs, good story. I highly recommend it!



3. I simply gave this 4 stars because of my 3-year olds' reaction. She seemed a little scared, which surprised me because we've owned Sesame Street videos before and they are perfect. You can expect this, though, since they are Halloween videos.
   Just a suggestion, if you gently, simply explain to your little one that things are pretend, honestly I think they'll be ok. For example, my daughter was very scared at first of the skeleton in 'Elmo Says Boo'. I could see that in her face, so I simply said it was just silly and we all have bones, so tell the skeleton to "Get some skin!" That's just what she says now and she's not scared anymore.
   Another caution, on the second video, they do talk about monsters being in the closet, which obviously may create a problem for your little one's imagination. I simply explained that the monsters were funny monsters just like Elmo and they were playing peek-a-boo. That seemed to resolve the issue.
   Overall, I recommend these videos and you can't beat it for the deal. Great to watch all fall through the Halloween season. Enjoy if you decide to purchase this set!



4. I bought this pack for my two year old son. He loved it! He still asks to watch it long after Halloween. The pack included "Elmo Says Boo" & "A Magical Halloween Adventure". My son is going through a "scared of everything" phase, so I was a bit worried, but there wasn't anything on either disc that upset him. He enjoyed every minute. He laughed through both shows. Keeping a two year old interested is a pretty tough trick but these shows sure worked on my little guy. I highly recommend it!



5. I bought this for my 20 month old son bc he loves Elmo (or Ehmo as he says) and these are great! They are so good, I kept them out for 2+ extra months after Halloween bc he loved them so much and only just yesterday packed them up with Halloween goodies so he would be excited next year.
   
   You won't be disappointed:-)

1. Saw this movie maybe twice but loved it every time. Watched it when it first came out with my daughter and she thought it was hysterical. A little scary, very funny and well done.

5 comments about Wonder Pets - Save the Beetles!.

1. My 10 month old cannot get enough of the Wonder Pets. She even rocks and tries to dance when she hears the songs. This one is great, although I wish the Beattle segment was longer. I actually like and approve of Wonder Pets for her, b/c they are sending a good message. Plus I do not have to listen to the schreching, nails on chalk board, screeming from dora the explorer. Dora drives us crazy. More Wonder Pets..........



2. Well this is everything a Baby Boomer gran or auntie needs to see to guarantee a purchase! It's a combination British Invasion music "tribute" with tons of Beatle references and precious, funny animals! There's no violence and no scary guys to make it anything but perfect for its intended audience -- Babies and Boomers who love them!
   
   I'm sold. How about you?



3. Super! This is a darling television show. My entire family (teens included) laughed and cheered throughout the DVD. We can't wait to share it with cousins this summer.



4. No bad guys, no strong or border line language. Nothing close to scary. It's baby animals saving baby animals, so it's a safe purchase for young kids. The episodes are great for introducing new concepts and animals to little ones.
   
   Each episode runs about 10 minutes so it's easy to track how much tv is being watched.



5. The Wonder Pets! get groovy in the newest release, "Save the Beetles!" Yes, the Wonder Pets are called up on the ol' telly with a request for help from four members of a famous rock band, the Beetles, whose yellow submarine has gotten tangled up in kelp. As they journey to rescue them, they'll dive straight into Beatlemania pop-culture (and reference numerous Beatles song titles and lyrics along the way!) It's a fun journey, with two of the Beetles being voiced by... well, no, not the Beatles themselves, but by members of the cast of the stage play "Beatlemania!"
   
   In the second half, "Three Wonder Pets and a Baby!," the Wonder Pets find themselves with a baby on their hands -- a baby pig! This one is really cute and could quickly become a fan favorite. It may be even more fun than "Save the Beetles!" There are many cute baby-related things, including various pictures of actual babies (my guess is children of the show staff.)
   
   None of the other episodes released on this DVD are new either. Still, they're good content. One of them is "Save the Chameleon / Save the Platypus." "Save the Platypus" is particularly good, because it shows how a friend and team-member (Linny) can maintain a level-head when two others (Tuck and Ming-Ming) are arguing. There's also "Save the Duckling / Save the Kitten" and "Save the Sheep / Save the Hermit Crab" (music from both of these stories is featured on the "Wonder Pets!" album release.)
   
   It's a shame that this DVD continues the tradition of not really including much in the way of special feature content. The only real special feature is the "Kelp!" music video -- which is just an easier way to access content that is already part of the episode. I was really hoping for behind-the-scenes stuff on "Save the Beetles!" -- "The Backyardigans," after all, gave us a behind-the-scenes look at "International Superspy," complete with scenes of Cyndi Lauper recording a song for it.

5 comments about Disney's Greatest 3.

1. My family loves listening to this CD. We have numerous Disney music CD's and we listen to them constantly in the car. I would defintely recommend this to any Disney fan.



2. The songs on this cd are a bit more "adult" than on the others. I really enjoy, but the kids don't really ask for this one.



3. The songs on this CD are a little newer and less "classic-ish" than the songs on previous albums in this line, but I still find them to be a good completion to my collection. Again, there is a variety of songs, which is good for car trips and such.



4. I ordered all 3 of the Disney's greatest cds for our road trip to Disney world and they are all awesome! This one is not as good as the first and second but it rounds out the collection well.



5. Right from the beginning, this CD will move you. Track 1 "I'll Try" might be the most under-rated or under-appreciated Disney track of all-time. Following this is equally engaging "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story. Other good tracks include light-hearted "Gaston" from Beauty and the Beast and o course The Siamese Cat song, which is a classic.
   
   I held off purchasing this CD as I have other Disney CDs with overlapping tracks, and those tracks on this CD I was unaware of didn't interest me. I'm glad I bought this CD though, because I didn't know what I was missing.

5 comments about Disney's Princess Collection: The Music of Hopes, Dreams and Happy Endings.

1. Bought as a gift for my 4-year old niece for her birthday, this CD stays in my car for her use when I'm driving. She loves it and asks for individual princesses and we sing along. I don't know how many times we've listened to it already (4 or 5, I imagine), but I anticipate many more. It's a heck of a lot easier than trying to remember the words on my own. :)



2. I want to start off by saying that if you're looking to buy only one Disney Princess CD, this is the one to get. This CD contains 12 tracks featuring 7 princesses (at the time that this CD was made, Mulan did not yet exist, in fact, the Disney Princess line itself did not exist). Unlike many other Disney Princess CDs, this one contains a *complete* collection of princess songs. That means that all the songs that any Princess actually sings is on this CD. No, not every song from every Princess movie is on here, but I wouldn't expect them to be, nor do I think that they'd even fit onto this CD. Something that's nice about this CD compared to some of the other Disney Princess CDs is that there is no subversive advertising. That means no mediocre songs from Cinderella V or the Little Mermaid X are on it. There aren't even any songs sung by non-Princesses, all the songs that are sung partly by others are at least partially sung by a Princess as well. One of the most interesting things about the album, in my opinion, is that it contains 'Home' by Susan Egan as Belle. In Beauty and the Beast, Belle has no large solo songs of her own, so they included this track from the original 1994 cast recording of the Beauty and the Beast Broadway musical. This addition makes the CD more interesting and does not at all detract from the quality of the CD.
   Again, if you are looking to buy only one Disney Princess CD or just find the best one, I would encourage you to buy this one. The selection of songs is complete and there isn't any annoying, mediocre album filler. I highly recommend this Disney Princess CD.



3. Bought this CD for Christmas for my 5 year old and we love it!! A great buy!!!!!



4. i love this cd! my dad got it for me for my birthday 3 years ago and i still love it



5. I bought this cd for my daughter's 3rd birthday. She LOVES it! She asks me to play it every day and we both sing along to all of the songs. She has even picked up on the songs that she didn't know before she received it. I love it because now she is more interested in listening to the cd and dancing with me in the house than watching a video. In quiet times, she likes to sit on my lap and look at the pictures in the liner notes. The recordings are beautiful, it is the one children's cd that I can listen to over and over. If you have a little girl who loves princesses, this is definitely worth the money.

2 comments about Goosebumps: Night of the Living Dummy.

1. Kids loved it. Scared the heck out of them! Not for Little ones that scare easily.



2. I got this the first day it came out. Because I was such a big Goosebumps fan I bought it. This was not as good as Night of the living dummy III. Well, you know it's weird, in the book of Night of the living dummy II, Slappy hits his head on a steel thing and gets his head cracked in two. And in Night of the living dummy II the episode, he falls on the edge of the fire place and toatally destroys his head. In Night of the living dummy III the book he gets his limbs torn off by the other dummies. While in the episode, he gets struck by lighting and blows up. Otherwise, they were still good Goosebumps episodes, I don't want to get started on Bride of the living dummy. oh well, Night of the living dummy II was a good use of a Slappy puppets. On Night of the living dummy III sometimes they used migets in costumes. Well, that;s it.
