GREAT episodes, but . . ........2007-05-14

Excellent show - perfect for toddlers. Very sweet stories with undertones of morality, kindness and respect for others without smacking you in the face with it. The only drawback here is that you can't play the bonus episodes straight through - you have to click on each one from the menu. And, because each "episode" is only 7-8 minutes long, you have to be right there or, in my case, you have a toddler demanding "More Little Bear please Mommy!"

very sweet.......2007-05-14

My 4 yr old loves Little Bear. The characters are very sweet and teach lessons of life. Well worth it in today's world with all the trash on TV for kids.

Comforting & entertaining.......2007-02-01

What a sweet comfort to be able to pop in this Little Bear DVD when your little one is under the weather. The episodes that revolve around not feeling your best are cute & funny. My toddler always laughs on "A Flu" when cat drinks up Little Bear's broth and the scene where the honey pours all over Little Bear never fails to give him the giggles.

I wish all the Little Bear shows would come out on DVD. I would sure love to have them. I can even enjoy watching it. I sure can't say the same for Elmo.

another bear flick.......2007-01-12

I suspect that most parents of young children in North America are well aware of Little Bear from Noggin or Nick Jr. Based on the book series of the same name published in the 1950s-60s and illustrated by Maurice Sendak (most famous for "Where the Wild Things Are"), this program is outstanding for preschool-aged children for a number of reasons.

1) First off, each story is only 7 1/2 minutes long + a 1-minute intro. This is ideal for the short attention spans of the target audience.
2) Secondly, the pacing and tone are fun, but very mellow. The music is soothing, the mood is very happy throughout, and the end result is a calm, peaceful viewer.
3) The stories specifically target the development stage of the preschool age group. No matter what the plot, the stories always capture the sense of curiosity and adventure of that age. Little Bear lets his imagination soar, plays make believe, and dreams wonderful dreams. The writers nail the curiosity, exploration, and discovery that are so wonderful in pre-schoolers.
4) Each story also demonstrates the value of family and friendship. Little Bear's parents interact with him in a meaningful, playful way on his level. And his friends are true friends, sharing many of their adventures together, solving problems together, and evincing real empathy for one another.

Regarding this specific DVD, as the title suggests, the four main stories focus on the various symptoms and experiences of common childhood illnesses (colds, flu, mumps, frog in the throat). Family and friends help ease Little Bear's loneliness and the result is a lot of fun. But the disk also includes 8 "Bonus" stories about various other topics.

If you select the "Play All" option on the DVD, you will see the 4 main stories (about 34 minutes), but you'll miss out on two-thirds of the total material on this disk. To access the other 8 stories, choose the "Episode Selection" option, scroll past the two pages with the main stories, and then select Bonus Episodes to see a list.

I do not know why Nelvana chose to bury the other 8 episodes this way. Maybe I should just chalk that up to my own laziness for always selecting Play All and not discovering the others for several months. Ah well, my boys have forgiven me. Hopefully, I can not help others to avoid the same mistake.

Enjoy the DVD. The stories are wholesome enough that you can put them on and let the children watch on their own for a few minutes if you need a break, but they're also fun to watch together. The show demonstrates and, thus, encourages healthy interaction between parents and their preschoolers.

Each story is loaded with laughs and lessons for Little Bear and our little viewers.
