And what dad wouldn't want that for his kids? The Whistlefritz programs (DVDs and CDs) use a playful combination of live-action, animation, music, skits and more to start exposing your children to Spanish. And the Whistlefritz folks know that parents are the best teachers, dads (and moms) are encouraged to participate as well. It's a great way to have fun with the kids--and you'll learn a little something too. Ages 3 years and up. --Mr.Dad.com\n\nSpanish words associated with the four seasons are introduced in this lively Spanish-language-immersion title, in which host Maria speaks entirely in Spanish (with keywords captioned onscreen). Maria enthusiastically demonstrates meanings (e.g. hugging herself to indicate that it's cold, hace frio) and repeats key terms in call-and-response activities with a group of cheery multicultural youngsters. Including live-action clips of youngsters enjoying familiar seasonal activities and brightly colored animation, the film moves from mouse Fritzi's birthday party to an introduction to the four seasons. Maria, shown against a cartoon background, discusses each season before viewers are treated to footage of children sledding (for el invierno), playing in the rain (for la primavera), and more. The footage is backed by music, songs, and sound effects. Includes a brochure with Spanish and English terms and phrases. This engaging program is perfect for both school and home settings. --American Library Association's Booklist\n\nA charming, bright and colorful DVD for the younger set! The music is lively and engaging and we are taken through each of the seasons the Spanish way. Those who desire to learn the language will be drawn into this delightful journey as well as little ones with Spanish as their primary language! We are happy to award our Dove Family-Approved Seal for all ages to this upbeat DVD. --The Dove Foundation\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B004LSJJRM\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B004LSJJRM.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stock|Goncalves-Pereira|Sara Jerez|Jorge Anaya|Foster|Juarez|Galindo-Macias\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
