My kid's favorite video
I'm not sure where these complaints of "too much talking" are coming from; this video is 90% singing. In my opinion, Kids' Favorite Songs 1 was much more guilty of that particular flaw than this one.Anyway, my one-year-old LOVES music, and this has been the only video so far that he will sit through all the way. Considering his minuscule attention span and the 45-minute running time of this DVD, that's a pretty big accomplishment. He's seen it about twenty times and his face still lights up when he hears the video starting up. He also laughs every time Snuffy chases his runaway meatball across the screen. (Um, you'll understand when you see it...)From my own viewpoint as a parent, even considering that I can be somewhat kids' music averse, I definitely can't complain that this is my son's favorite. Sure, the songs do tend to get stuck in your head (God help me if I start singing Elmo's Song at work again), but it's not particularly annoying as these things sometimes are. The selection of songs is great -- fun, with a combination of humorous and classic tunes, most of which I remember from my own childhood. Some of the kids in the video are pretty cute and add more humor into the mix.Recommended by me, and highly recommended by my kid.
