 - love the curious buddies!!!my son, husband and i love the curious buddies. we like all the videos, some more than others, but all are good. i can't seem to find "storytime" or "i can do it"....will buy them if i can find them. Rating:  - great for boys and girlsMy 23month old is watching this video right now. My 4 year old daughter will even watch it, she loved these videos when she was younger. I would have given it 5 stars except that the "Buddies" aren't in it as much as the other videos, like On the Farm. My son really loves to see the actual puppets so there are points where it looses his interest. Over all I would recommend the videos. Rating:  - Good video, except for ANNOYING musicI liked this video until it came to the extremely annoying heavy metal-type song. I ended up getting rid of it because I couldn't stand to hear the music anymore, and it seemed to be one my son could take or leave. If you don't mind the song, it is probably a good teaching tool. It teaches important concepts like big/small. Rating: - Buy This, Buy Them AllMy daughter is 2 and has been watching these for a year. We own the entire collection and even we rarely tire of them. Her has grown her vocabulary from watching this series and I can see recognition on her face when she sees things in the real world that reflect what the CBs have shown her. The music is not annoying and covers all genres. The puppets mixed with live action and lots of other babies & toddlers really hold her attention. It is so much more educational than the Baby Einsteins - I find myself really thinking those are just eye candy without much purpose. Couldn't recommend the Buddies more. Rating: - stands apart from othersMy son, who is now 2 years old, began watching this when he was 15 months old. At first, it was a hard sell -- I think because the opening number threw him for a loop. He was used to Baby Einstein with classical music; and this video has lyrics. So, I put it in the car DVD player so he was forced to watch it. After a while, he began to love it. Some of the music sounds somewhat like gospel. It's a bit peculiar compared with other kids DVD's; but we've grown to like it alot. He particularly likes the segment where the puppets are shown driving construction equipment - i.e. bulldozer, dump truck, etc. Then there is a great song -- "dig, dig, dig, my excavator!" and kids are seen pushing toy dump trucks around. There is also a segment showing tools - hammer, saw, etc. While I think girls would like it, I think it's a must for boys. I wish there were more boys videos for toddlers on the market - i.e. cars, construction, trucks, etc.
