Bee Smart Baby: Action Words! 1

Buy This Item Bee Smart Baby: Action Words! 1 by BaBumble Bee  Available from Amazon  $14.95  on 10-11-2008     I bought the three pack of Action Verbs (Tapes 1,2, and 3). I feel that they could be better. They are not terrible, but when I compare them to Baby Einstein or So Smart, it is obvious that Bee Smart's quality is not nearly as good. It seems they spent more on advertising than on making the tapes as good as they can possibly be. For example, along with each cassette there is a pamphlet of advertising material for more bee smart tapes--but nowhere do they include a list of the action verbs for the tapes I bought. (I have to go to the web site for a list of the action verbs.) Here is how each tape is set up: Throughout each tape children are shown doing various actions. There are a few puppets, but 95% of the time it's children. There is no animation. A voice says the action verb twice for each verb. This lasts about ten to fifteen minutes. Then the verbs repeat, and the voice says a sentence using each verb. There is classical music in the background, but it doesn't particularly match what is shown in the video. There are NO breaks anywhere in the video. It justs jumps from verb to verb. This is very annoying as it makes it hard to watch with out little pauses between verbs. The best things about these videos is that they do show various actions in various forms. Also, the kids are real kids, no actors. A baby wears glasses, which I thought was neat. You have to decide if this is what you want for your kid, but personally I thought that this could have been done better. I prefer So Smart First Words much better (but So Smart doesn't have an action verb tape.) Reader Reviews I bought these for my three yr old who was speech delayed. He loves these tapes and his languange skills improved immediately. I would highly recommend these tapes.
