Kids were very into the visuals and talked aloud about what they saw. At one point, the adult facilitators asked them to listen to the lyrics (a couple of kids were able to read the lyrics on the screen) but the kids were too busy asking questions aloud to each other or making comments such as: "He's sad." "Look, it's a ladybug." They liked Gustafer and his friends. They liked the stars, the music and the spaceship. They thought it was shaped like a tear because Gustafer was sad.
Very nice. Very relaxing, would make a great title to watch before nap time. I love the words for the songs being shown at the bottom of the screen - very nice for kids who are learning to read. The songs flow smoother and tell a tale of Gustafer when you watch hem all. Language is very appropriate for preschoolers. The characters are colorful and the music extremely pleasant. The package comes with an audio CD of just the music which is a nice addition. I love the images. They are beautifully made and imaginative.
Gustafer comes to Earth in his Sunpod and lands in Minnesota where he lives out his dream of a cooler existence, making new and interesting friends along the way. With guest artists John Stirratt and Pat Sansone of Wilco, also featuring Lisa Loeb.
