"I'm a kindergarden teacher in Chicago. I grew up in Mexico listening to CriCri's music and I love it! But this DVD with a female voice is easier for kids to sing along with. I highly recommend this product for kids who want to learn spanish. Also to keep the spanish language alive in families with a latin backround."

Delightful

"As one reviewer wrote below, true, Francisco Gabilondo-Soler AKA "Cri Cri" (El Grillito Cantor) is not the singer in this DVD, although it is his voice that you hear do an introduction at the beginning. But the lady that sings his songs has an excellent voice and did a wonderful job with them. Her enunciation is also very good (clear and easy to comprehend), in case one of you is interested in this DVD as a Spanish language learning tool. As the songs play, their lyrics are shown onscreen as well.

My two-and-a-half year old daughter absolutely loved this CD, she asked to have it played a 2nd time, and then a 3rd time! The animation has a very unique 3-D effect to it, not the kind of 3-D that you need the special kind of viewing glasses for, but something like what you'd see through a Viewmaster (if you remember those). Now, it's not very high-techy otherwise, do not expect this do be a Disney or Dreamworks "lifelike" type of animation, but it isn't junk either like sometimes you get with the lesser known videos.

The only thing I wish it had, was a list of the songs. That would come in handy when you want to play a specific one. Neither the CD case nor the literature inside have one.

But all in all, I recommend it without reservation. Can't wait for Volume Two."

Que bonita sorpresa!
