Mixed reactions from kids. The 3-5's really did parrot their way through this and come out without any words they remembered. The good news is that most loved watching it. The animated parts were just as appealing as the real life scenes and something about the bear got them talking. One group who had just watched a show with a Spanish speaking host responded much more positively to this DVD that the other.
Good kid-friendly introduction to another language. Good style and presentation. Definitely suitable for preschoolers. Flows nicely, with a pattern that makes sense to the kids: breakfast, lunch, dinner, each with a short review. Gives parents a way to introduce kids to another culture or language. Obviously, kids aren't going to learn everything in one sitting so repeat viewing would be required if you really wanted to make the lessons stick. Good production quality. Learning about people from different backgrounds can only be a plus for kids as it helps them understand how everyone is different.
Uses entertaining immersion methods to introduce children to words and phrases in French for conversing about mealtime.
