Richard Scarry's Best Counting Video Ever! [DVD]

my two little boys love this counting video! Their ages are one, and 3 1/2. They both will sit, riveted, while this little video plays out. It is wonderful for when I am making supper/washing dishes. The whole thing is only 15 to 20 minutes long, which I feel like is a good amount of time for Littles to be in front of the TV. this sweet little story features Lily rabbit, who is challenged by her daddy to have a counting day. She proceeds to count objects and people around Busytown. She starts from one, and goes up to 20. Her friends, Huckle cat, and Lowely worm help her. it is such a funny little story! Sweet, innocent, no frightening elements whatsoever. I love the simplicity of this little DVD. I highly, highly recommend! The characters are kind and polite, and the content is educational. It has definitely helped my three-year-old with his counting. And who can argue with Richard Scarry? His stories are classic! :-)

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).

If your children are allowed to watch TV, it is best to provide them with videos that are not only entertaining but also educational. Richard Scarry's Best Counting Video Ever achieves that goal. My daughter is several months away from three years old. She was given casual instruction in numbers and counting prior to her first viewing of this video. Now that she has seen it perhaps six times, her ability to count has improved markedly and her understanding of addition has increased (addition is not introduced in this video). The video teaches counting up to twenty. The graphics are simplistic, allowing the viewer to focus on the lesson. This is a useful tool that I recommend to any parent who wishes to enlighten their child or children.

I recently purchased the following videos: Best ABC Video, Best Counting Video, Best Learning Songs, Best Silly Stories & Songs, Best Busy People. These videos are all about 15-20 years old (release date) and I had my reservations as to whether my 3 year old would like them, as he is very stuck on his LeapFrog letter and words videos (which I also love). When I first viewed all of these, I realized that they are made with very simple animation, similar to when I was young. These videos are extremely charming and sweet. My son instantly loved them and has asked to view them repeatedly. It was nice to have a video with the actual alphabet song, as the LeapFrog letter factory does not have it. The counting video is also helpful in that it counts to 20 rather than 10 as other videos do. He enjoys the silly stories and laughs at all the videos. It is nice to know that kids can still enjoy classics such as these. I am very pleased with them. I also paid less than $1 or $2 for each of them (plus shipping). A bargain!

I had high hopes for this dvd as it was a gift for an expectant mother's baby. It's an older time period children's show so maybe that's why the visual quality isn't there. It would be great if some one would digitally remaster the series for future generations.I'm STILL waiting for my refund! Not happy about how long this is taking.

This is a very memorable and educational video that my children and children in classrooms that I've taught in from 3year olds in preschool through 1st grade have enjoyed. I was glad to be able to buy a newer copy since the box from my daughter's video (she's 26 now) was falling apart. The characters, dialog and just-right pace of the video will help your child learn their numbers and how to count very easily!

We have the Winnie the Pooh 123's, which my son loves but it only goes up to 10. We wanted something that counts to 20. We purchased this dvd at the same time as "RS's Best ABC Video Ever". He loves them both! We usually watch ABCs and then Counting. He was counting before but this has helped to reinforce 1-10. We are also learning 11-20 at a very good pace. He counts everything! I agree with the other parents that this video is a great learning tool.

My 18 month old son was already counting to 30 but with this DVD he now understands the counting concept and counts everything in his sight. He loves this DVD and calls it his "numbers". I love that it goes past 10 all the way to 20 - so many only got to 5 or 10. We also have the ABC one and he loves that equally. I wish Richard Scarry had more DVD's to offer - they are excellent educational tools!

20年前VHSで、息子が毎日、見て聴いていました。英語漬けの息子を見ていて、思い出し、懐かしくなり、DVDを購入。絵もストーリも可愛いし、123～♪の歌も良いですよ。

Very pleased with this purchase - received it quickly and was in great condition! Thank you!

うさぎの子が1〜20まで数えていく単純なストーリーです。1歳半の息子はよく見ています。１０回くらい見たことあったのですが、今日見ていたら最後のシーンの歌の部分で大泣き。。もう一度掛け直しても同じ最後のシーンでまた大泣き。。終わって欲しくない様子です。個人的には英語を習いたてのお子様や小さいお子様向きな気がします。迷ってる方は1度お子様に見せる価値はあると思います。

このシリーズはたくさん持っているのですが、これが一番のお気に入りで、ビデオが切れてしまうまで見続けていました。このシリーズは歌がとてもかわいらしいのですが、この作品は、シリーズの中で、特にかわいい♪ウサギの声もかわいくて、よく子供が真似して歌を歌っていました。３歳くらいからこのシリーズを見続けた子供は今は９歳ですが、英語の先生から発音が非常にきれいだと褒められていて、英語に対して得意だという意識を持って楽しそうに勉強しています。学習時間はとても短いのに習得率がいいそうです。ビデオのおかげかなぁと思いました。色もそんなにケバケバしくないので眼にも穏やかですし、大人も充分に楽しめて、一緒に歌って英語を思い出せる作品です。

数字大好きの２歳半の息子に、英会話の勉強になればと思い買いました。数字が好きなので、大喜びで何回も見ています。ただ、数字に強い反応を示してしまい、目的の英会話の勉強には程遠かったかなと言う感じです。まだ買って１週間くらいですが、ワン、ツー、スリーの発音が良くなったような気がします！これからも、くり返し見ることによって、英会話の勉強になればいいと思っています。
