Rating:  - Don't bother
This is poorly done. Nursery rhymes are not done in both languages, it has some in English and some in Spanish, but none in both languages.
Rating:  - My kids love it!
We recently bought this video for our kids, and they really love it. The youngest one is 2 and he can't get enough of the puppets; I hear him singing the songs in his bed at night, which is great since he really seems to be taking to the two language format (he does hear some spanish at home, so it isn't totally new, but the songs definitely make the second language more learnable in a kid-friendly way). This video definitely isn't high-tech or highly animated, making it more like Sesame Street video than Dora or Baby Einstein, but it has a classic simple charm that kids relate to, and I love the fact that there are real kids singing and dancing, and that the songs are tried and true classic children's songs; plus it doesn't have that Disney-esque sleekness that Baby Einstein took on. The printed lyrics that were included also help me sing along to! If you are looking for a way to introduce more spanish to your kids, this is a great little video.
Rating: - GREAT find!
Fun, entertaining for kids and adults and educational. It would be nicer if all the song words could be understood and this is from someone who grew up listening to and speaking Spanish.
Rating: - Don't buy it!
I am surprised that so many people like this video. I think it is the worst video I have bought. I want my young son to learn Spanish but this is not the video to help him do that. There are no subtitles and I cannot understand the words. Other bilingual videos I have purchased have subtitles and I put them on the Spanish subtitles. The video does not appear to be professionally made. It looks like someone just took their video camera and shot some footage of kids jumping around. If I could have, I would have given it 0 stars. If you are looking for a good bilingual video purchase Sesame Street's Fiesta.
Rating:  - Not what I expected
The songs are okay; however it looked rather cheesy. I bought it to use in my classroom, but somehow it's not interesting enough (to me). Some of the songs are nice, but its really just a translated version of many english songs. Also, the fact that there weren't any Hispanic children on the DVD rather disturbed me.
