Review & Giveaway: Life After People DVD

Talk about an eye opener!

This 94-minute DVD from The History Channel explores what could possibly happen to the planet if one day people just ceased to exist. They're not talking nuclear war or natural disaster, just if people suddenly disappeared.

From the site: "If humans were to suddenly disappear, what would happen to our planet - the structures we've built, the everyday items we take for granted, domesticated and wild animal, plants, trees? What would become of the things that define our species and leave our mark on this Earth?"

When I first received this DVD, I wasn't sure how I would feel about. However, when I started watching it, I was intrigued at the thought of "Life After People". I mean, who will feed our pets, keep the generators running, protect the structures from being overcome by vegetation? The strangest feeling of all is when you realize that in their portrayed senario, you no longer exist either. Creepy!

This DVD can be purchased through Amazon for $12.99.

Giveaway: Would you like to win a copy for yourself to check out? To enter:

• Mention in comments why you'd like to win this DVD before August 4th. That’s it!

Each step is playfully shown mixed into a colorful montage of toys, animals, birds, children and young dancers from the School of American Ballet."

My daughters enjoyed this interactive DVD and the narration by Prima Princessa helped them understand the story behind Swan Lake. Even I learned a few new things! The transformations between animation to live performances kept this DVD entertaining and was able to hold my girls' attentions longer than most DVDs.

That's always a good thing! *don't judge me - hee hee*

Okay, I have to admit that I've never heard of Avatar before. *gasp!* But in my defense, I have 2 little girls who prefer ballerinas and princesses.

The kids are forced to flee the Fire Nation Palace with Azula and her war ships hot on their heels.

Review: Barney's ABCs

Like most parents, I've grown pretty tired of Barney over the years. However, my kids love him so I try to endure.

Barney: Animal ABC's was actually a nice surprise. Baby Bug loves all kinds of animals and that's what Barney uses to go through the alphabet in this newly released DVD. It was able to hold her attention and she wanted to watch it over and over again. Eventually, she started recognizing and reciting the animal name before Barney did. Now that was pretty cool!

What I really liked is that they used footage of real life animals, not drawings. This really helps her associate the word with the subject.

Fun and educational - what more could you want?

Thank you to the Parent Bloggers Network for another great review opportunity.

Review & Giveaway: Bob the Builder On Site: Roads & Bridges

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your participation!
The winner is Becca of Waye Out There.
Congratulations!

My daughters are usually pretty big fans of Bob the Builder. So when I had the opportunity to review the brand new Bob the Builder On Site: Roads & Bridges DVD, thanks to Parent Bloggers Network, we were excited.

This one hour episode features Bob, Roley, and Lofty as they explain how roads & bridges are planned and constructed. The cool feature of this DVD is that it mixed live footage along with the animation to help illustrate their points. We found it very educational and informative which is always a great thing for children's videos.

However, the only downside is that I wished the other members of Bob's team were vocally present. It just didn't seem right for them to be there but not speak.

All in all, it was an entertaining video and both my girls loved it. That's the main thing, right?

Review: Barney & Friends Celebrating Around The World

You either love him or hate him. Either way, it looks like Barney's here to stay with a brand new DVD - Celebrating Around The World.

Product Description: Everyone's favorite purple dinosaur continues his dino-mite 20th year anniversary with the all-new, direct-to-DVD special "Celebrating Around The World." Young explorers take a super-dee-duper adventure with Barney, BJ, Baby Bop and Riff to Brazil, Kenya, India, Japan, and Ireland where they learn about different cultures, including traditional music and dance, and explore the ways people celebrate around the world.

Baby Bug is a big fan of Barney, especially the music. She enjoys the colorful and upbeat songs, dances, and props. That's why I knew this video would be a big hit with her. However, what really surprised me is that I enjoyed it, too.

There are some familiar songs as well as brand new ones which will undoubtedly become Barney classics. Our favorite destination was Japan where the Cherry Blossom Festival is held complete with authentic kimonos and traditional Odori dances.

This video is scheduled to be released on January 29th for $13.49 and is definitely one you'll want for your collection.

Thank you to the Parent Bloggers Network for this great review opportunity!

Review: Phonics 4 Babies

At 22 months, Baby Bug is still lacking in the area of speech. She can say a handful of words but only if you ask her to. She won't take the initiative to ask for something specifically. So when the opportunity came up to review Phonics 4 Babies: Baby's First Words, I was thrilled.

Mallory Lewis hosts this colorful and upbeat series along with her Tummy Tot friends as she introduces us to words, phrases, letters, shapes and more. Role playing is an intricate part of how these lessons are communicated as characters play out every day life for babies and children. And they do so in a fun and caring way.

This DVD contains two half-hour episodes with each one formatted in short learning segments divided by games and songs. The games strive to involve the audience by asking them to find objects, say words, or try different movements.

When I first showed this video to Baby Bug, she was totally mesmerized. I have to admit that I really enjoyed it, too. The upbeat songs just makes you want to sing along! I'm not sure how much Baby Bug will actually learn from this video since it's too soon to tell. However, the fact that it draws her attention is a great start! Plus, anything that takes us away from Barney is welcomed in my home!

Thank you to Parent Bloggers Network for this opportunity!
