Abc Monsters: Starring Efgh

My little guys love this weird show. For reference, they're 2.5 and 4 years old.

These movies are kid tested and mother approved!

ABC Monsters Starring VWXYZ, directed by Ah Loong, is an interactive adventure full of fun and games! Songs, puzzles and dances encircle each episode with excitement. Puzzles where viewers are asked to help kept me engaged as I felt I was a part of the show, helping the main characters along their journey to find the missing monsters.The story follows Alice, Brian and their fairy Cherry Berry, who embark on different adventures to find the missing letters. On their way, they face many puzzles, meet new friends and visit new places. They even learn new songs and dance moves as they embark on their exhilarating quests.The animation and songs are unforgettable. The children and adults have a larger head than body, which allows an exaggeration of emotions. It makes it easy to understand what the characters are feeling. The monsters come in different colors, have distinctive hairstyles and unique personalities. Each characteristic adds to their charm including their smiles and even their unique teeth. The backgrounds are colorful and radiant. They appear to have been drawn as there are sketchy lines that outline the trees, hills and houses. This adds to the calm feeling of watching different, lively scenes. The animation becomes more visually appealing when different patches of designs merge to create walls, floors and hills. It prevents certain areas from being one solid color and gave me more to look at on their adventures.When a song begins, the scene changes into vibrant shades of yellow, pink and blue with a multitude of flowery shapes. The characters dance on screen while colors and patterns flow past them. There are sparkles everywhere and lights flash as if the characters are at a disco. Captions also appear at the bottom, encouraging viewers to sing along. The ambience of these scenes are exuberant and energetic. The songs themselves are catchy and made me want to sing along too.My favorite part is the journey of finding the monsters because, even I had the pleasure of guessing the riddles and seeing how one puzzle would lead to the next. The message of this DVD is “always help those in need and good will always transpire.” I give this DVD 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 6. This DVD is available now so be sure to check it out, especially if you have preschoolers.Reviewed by Sahiba K., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic. for more reviews by youth, visit kidsfirst dot org.

This DVD series is very helpful with teaching kids how to listen to the sounds to identify which letter is missing in each word. It helps with a little bit of spelling and even touches on directional words with a compass (north, south, east and west). My daughter really pays attention when watching this DVD. The songs are catchy, too.I received a free copy of this DVD in exchange for my honest opinion about it.

Such a great way to learn the ABC's. Although my 2 year old is still focusing on basic words, this DVD is a great tool to start teaching each letter and whole words for each. She was 100% interested and really focused on what was being taught.

This is a great learning dvd! My son is 4 and loves it. We have volume 1 as well. He always follows along with the dvd and does the puzzles and questions. I would highly recommend these dvds for kids ages 3 and older.
