Amazon's review seems good. Any parents tried this dvd before?

I have not heard of it before, but the Numberjacks series sounds interesting from the reviews. Probably will grab one to see for myself. Thanks, jedamum, for the heads up.

Yes... Richard Scarry's Best Counting Video is one of the best. Suitable for kids under 2years old. I'm not sure if Mr Men is so captivating, though.

May I know where I can get this? Thanks in advance!

:? most parents will be happy that their kids are not interested in watching tv....

well, I guess I’d rather him watch some TV so that I can have a breather at times.

I guess the problem with educational DVDs is some kids truly enjoyed them while others may find it boring. My kid didn't enjoyed the \"Numberjacks\", so far he only watched it twice and most time he was not watching but playing with his \"trucks trucks\" toys in his hands.

Frankly, I wished that I had not get it because I personally didn't like it too. \"Boring\" is too mild a word to describe it.

Ok, my kid's favorite DVDs now are:-
(a) Leapfrog DVD - \"Letter Factory\" and \"Word Factory\",
(b) \"I'm an animal\" DVD (vol. 1 & 2).

For the \"I'm an animal\" DVD, he would shout out the name of some of the animals too.
