The DVD we received is called " Baby's First Words". Through music, poetry, puppets, nursery rhymes and real children and babies, the DVD exposes kids to vocabulary words that include body parts and simple words. The video is 30 minutes long and it exposes the child to 40 words. If used as recommended your child, can learn to recognize these words.
We did not follow the recommended schedule as we limit the amount of TV our pre-reader (Sarah-26 months) is exposed to but I did let her watch it the video occasionally and she really enjoyed the music and the puppets. She also tried to copy the kids as they named and pointed to the body parts.
"Baby's First Words" is available at Monki See online for a special price of $19.95.
As part of the review, we also received a storybook "Know Your Monkey". This was a visually engaging small book that reinforced some of the words learned and also featured the monkey puppets that the child meets in the DVDs.
"Know Your Monkey" is available for $9.95
