Description:
If slow and steady wins the race, then So Smart! Colors beats the competition by a turtle nose. Created to charm 1- to 3-year olds, this video storybook features simple, screen-filling drawings that glide and float as a pleasant voice tells short stories about seven different colors. As children watch the green grasshopper climb a green hill or a purple fish blow purple bubbles, the task of learning colors begins. The stories, also paced quite slowly, incorporate simple words and beginning terms like high, low, up, down, big, small, behind, in, and out. Best of all, the delightful original-music soundtrack blends piano, guitar, mandolin, saxophone, and other pleasing instruments to gently perk up the viewing experience. A note at the video's onset wisely suggests that parents watch and interact with their child during the 30 minutes of stories and turn off the TV early if baby gives the cue. --Liane Thomas
