Book Reviews of Numbers (Baby 1st Imp): 4 (Baby's First Impressions , Vol 4)
Book Review: Practically Perfect in Every Way!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the few videos I will let my kids watch! It does an excellent job of teaching. It teaches both the subject matter and object recognition/vocabulary using real photography.
Drawings in animated videos can be hard for inexperienced little ones to recognize--plus my 2-year-old daughter is frightened by animation! So Baby's 1st Impressions' real videography is far better.
My children love the bright colors, fun movements, good music, and cheerful children. The videos are pleasing to an adult's eyes and ears, too.
Most of all, kids love the learning! I've never seen material presented in such a simple, uncluttered, unconfusing video. My daughter has learned a lot from these videos very quickly!
Best of all, everything in this series is 100% moral and positive. No one is dressed immodestly. No one is fighting or crying. There are no simply no negative lessons hidden in it to create problems where none had existed before.
The target audience (toddlers and preschoolers) should not feel pressured to learn academics yet; they should all still think of learning as a game. But so many kids' videos and books show a character very frustrated and discouraged while trying to learn new things. Even if the other characters are trying to help the learner have fun and understand, by showing initial agony, the videos leave the impression that learning is difficult and painful. That's not so bad if your child is already struggling, but if he's enthusiastic and untroubled, why spoil it? Babies' 1st Impressions shows kids at all stages of learning just enjoying the process.
(The same thing goes for media which supposedly teach how to overcome fear, or rudeness, or selfishness. It's great for parents to creatively help a child who's already afraid of the dark. But introducing masses of unafraid children to the idea of imaginary monsters just may create new problems! Kids come up with enough challenges on their own without adults introducing everyone else's. Baby's 1st Impressions doesn't introduce ANY negative scenarios.)
I just wish Baby's 1st Impressions would expand and do the same thing with more complex material marketed to older kids. Anything needing memorization would work with the same approach. Cities, states, presidents, the periodic table of elements, anatomy, phonics, math facts-all done in a fun, repetitive, positive manner. Wouldn't that be great?
I highly recommend Baby's 1st Impressions: Numbers. You won't regret it!
Summary of Numbers (Baby 1st Imp): 4 (Baby's First Impressions , Vol 4)
Much like the other nine volumes in the award-winning Baby's First Impressions series, Numbers uses familiar objects in surprising ways to captivate young viewers. Three oatmeal-raisin cookies magically creep onto a bright background as a gentle voice says, "One! One cookie!" and a colorful number 1 materializes atop the cookie. In a similar fashion, silly plastic jungle animals, fruits, and vegetables move with stop-action camerawork to illustrate other numbers. While these 10 enjoyable sequences will especially appeal to the youngest audience (about 8 months to 2 years), preschoolers will also enjoy seeing other kids use numbers to play hide-and-seek, repeat rhymes ("One, two, buckle my shoe!"), count backwards, and handle simple math problems ("How many kids do you see? That's right, two. Let's add two more. Now how many do you see?") A brief test (in which viewers are asked to determine how many objects they see) and a final group count to 20 wraps up this delightful study of numbers from the talented creators of such topnotch educational series as Bilingual Baby and Brainy Baby. --Liane ThomasSocial Skills Books
