I have a 3 year old grandaughter that knows what book is the right one with the video after the second time she played with sing along read along. This is her favorite toy from christmas. I'm impressed with the brillant person[s] who put this package together. I think my grandaughter will be reading before 4.
Fantastic product December 17, 2008

I bought this item at a local discount store (for much less than the list price of $19.99 I have to say!), and am very happy with it. I am familiar with Leapfrog products and was expecting a high quality product, but in my view this beats the other DVDs Leapfrog has produced (though this product has a different function and does not directly compare with Letter Factory, etc- it's complementary).
The pack contains a DVD with 12 music video clips and 12 corresponding booklets. The idea is that the child picks up the songs and words and after s/he gets used to the tunes etc tries to read the booklets without the music DVD.
The stories are well planned and unfold in a specific order that progressively builds knowledge (e.g. short o, i, function of a, e, i etc.). The story content is clear and uncomplicated, with nice, big and crisp bold Arial subtitles for the song texts; the animated characters and graphics are funky, colorful and interesting but not too technicolor and visually 'loud'; the music is upbeat, in various music styles (ranging from rock to jazzy blues) and encourages singing, but it is not overwhelming and enables the child to focus on the written and spoken words.
Absolutely recommended. Will not regret!
Great DVD, Great Songs, Great Books October 15, 2008

This is a top notch product. The songs on the DVD are great -in a variety of styles that are entertaining for the parent, also. If you enjoy listening along with CDs like "For the Kids" and They Might Be Giants' No! you'll love these songs - I only wish they included an Audio CD.
The video style is crisp, fun and modern. The elements of phonics are woven into the lyrics of the songs -like Power Puff Girls meets Electric Company. The video segments have a corresponding books that my son loves looking at when he's not watching the DVD. He's even asked to have the books read to him at bedtime.

My 4 yr old loves the video, she doesn''t read along too much with the books but she does dance and sing the songs. She even took it for share day at school.

This DVD is the best of both worlds, it totally entertains my children while actually educating them. The DVD is broken into 12 segments (each with it's own book to follow along). Each segment has a cute little skit and introduces a vowel sound in a fun way. The songs are very catchy (with out being annoying) and the skits are short enough to keep their attention. Both my 4 year old and 2 year old are completely mesmerized when it's on. My 4 year old likes to follow along with the books and is starting to sound out words....what more can a mom ask for?
