Summary: My almost 3 year old son LOVES this DVD!!
Review: I purchased Richard Scarry's Counting and ABC's video at the same time. The ABC's video is slightly better than this one (in my opinion) but my son adores them both and watches them back to back (we watch ABC's then he asks for the Counting DVD). My son already knew most of his ABC's (I'm using that DVD for reading as well) but he could only count to 10 and only recognized numbers up to 5. We haven't had these DVD's for a week yet and my son's already recognizing his numbers upto 10 and repeats the higher numbers. I recommend this DVD OVER Sesame Street's 123 Count With me that basically only goes upto 15 (except for a counting song that goes upto 20) but my son loves that DVD as well. [...]

Summary: Poor quality, boring DVD
Review: I was disappointed with this DVD and would not buy it again. The animation was poor quality and made the character's movements look jerky. The actors who did the voices sounded very artificial. The story was not engaging. The counting song is not particularly singable. All this said, my three year old daughter is willing to watch it and then watch it again immediately after that . . . but I prefer videos we can both enjoy...

Summary: Simply Wonderful - Educational, Fun, and Sweet!
Review: My 2-year-old son requests this video every day! As a mom, I like the video, because it is simple, charming, educational, and has very sweet counting songs (and I don't get sick of it, as I do with many other children's videos). No commercials at the beginning - just plain old NUMBERS! The video features Lilly the rabbit, who goes through Busy Town on her "Counting Day", and finds things like 5 frogs and 6 scarecrows. After each number segment, the video shows the corresponding numeral on the screen to help children associate the number with the concept. The tape features numbers from 1 to 20, in two separate "halves" (of 1-10 and 11-20), so if your child is only old enough for 1-10, you can easily stop the video halfway through and still maintain its coherence. I cannot recommend this more highly.

Summary: Great Video
Review: My cousins who are 3 years and 19 months began to watch this film. The three year old picked up on counting right away. The 19 month old began to count a couple of weeks later. We have been amazed at their progress in such a short time. They love to watch this video, as it is colorful and very entertaining.

Summary: Good, but I like the other Richard Scarry videos better.
Review: My son and I like this video, but both of us prefer the ABC video and the Learning Songs video (which are excellent). I don't know, maybe it's the fact that this video doesn't have the sense of camaraderie that the other ones have (Lily Rabbit goes solo for much of this video). Also, my son inexplicably begins to sob and get very upset when Lily's mother sings a bedtime song to her at the end. I always have to rush over and turn off the tv before it gets to this point!

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: My son is 22 months old and loves this video. It teaches counting while telling a story so it keeps the attention.
We play it almost everyday.

Summary: This is a GREAT video
Review: My son is transfixed with this video. He knew how to countbefore we got it (he is 2), but this video really taught him theconcept of counting - not just memorizing the numbers.

Summary: Excellent counting video!
Review: My ten-year old daughter learned to count with this video. I am purchasing it again for my 2 year old. I'm sure she will love it as well.

Summary: Wholesome and truly educational!
Review: My toddler loves to count, and this video is part of why. She is wary of animation, and thus far she'll only watch it if we are in the room with her. But I think my daughter is unsual in that area. Most kids love animation.
The illustrations are of familiar animals and settings. It has catchy tunes to make numbers cheerily memorable, and it is repetitive enough that kids really learn. It's not too visually hypnotic or frantically paced.
Kids see the written numerals, hear the number words, and see the objects being counted all at once for a complete learning experience. All you need to do is practice counting real objects throughout the day to add the tactile element!
Best of all, there is absolutely nothing objectionable in either the words or illustrations. The 'children' are polite and respectful. The characters have a realistic enough range of emotions without modeling negativity or bad habits. The adults are intelligent, responsible, and caring.
All told, I consider this to be one of the best preschool videos ever!

Summary: Great way to learn counting
Review: Our two-year old daughter loves this video. She is always asking to see her "bunny counting" video. She has learned to count to 20, and a major reason was this video. I highly recommend it. It is the best counting video I've found.
The animation is basic (and even slightly glitchy in one instance), but it's not the sort of thing little kids care about. The content and educational value are first-rate. Our daughter loves the sweet animal characters.
We like that the presentation is low-key, not like some of the loud, frenetically paced stuff you see nowadays. If your kids see a lot of TV, they might have a different reaction than our daughter did to this video. We don't let her watch a lot of video unless it's educational (studies show TV and rapidly changing video images are not healthy for kids' brain development, especially before age 3).
