Caroline received this DVD for Christmas from my parents and it is all the rage right now.

It’s long (74 minutes) so we only let her watch it once a day, but I think she would watch it a couple of times a day if we would let her. 

The narrator is Sebastian Cabot and it had been years and years since I had heard his voice. (Did anyone else watch Family Affair when they were growing up?  I remember seeing it on reruns.)

Anyway, highly recommended.  I love the way it goes from the book to the movie. Very cute video that has made Caroline laugh out loud many times. 

I can officially call this a big hit with Caroline.

Now that I know she likes it, I’ll look into the other related ones as well.  Thanks very much for the recommendations! I’ll be checking out some of the others soon!

I also purchased the LeapFrog Word Whammer Fridge Phonics today.

We already had the LeapFrog Fridge Phonics Magnetic Alphabet Set and it helped Caroline learn her letters very early on.  But she has shown such an interest in words and spellings lately that I knew it was time to move her along to something more challenging.

Caroline has thoroughly enjoyed watching Baby Einstein DVDs for the past year.  We didn’t allow her to watch DVDs until she was almost two.  She definitely likes DVDs, but I am at a bit of a loss where to go next.  She has an animal video from the Creation Museum that my friend, Katherine, sent her.  She likes that with the singing and animals.  She likes A Charlie Brown Christmas (Remastered Deluxe Edition) and has watched it off and on all year.  But that’s about it.

I know there have to be lots of good DVDs out there that I’m just not aware of.  We’re not interested in going the Dora, Elmo, Sesame Street, etc. route.  I’d especially be interested in high quality DVDs with Bible themes, Bible verses, singing, etc. but am open to anything that is solid and well done.

Suggestions?
