"We LOVE this video and with three kids in the house someone is asking to watch it everyday! I don't mind because it is happy and makes you want to get up and dance. Within a week our kids were racing to get to see who could get to 20 first and that is great because other videos stop at 10. This concept has also laid the ground work for showing how higher numbers are 'put together'-How awesome is that?! Because 123's has been such a success we went out and got the ABC's video-thanks Brainy Baby!"
Great video for learning to count

"I brought this video for my 2 1/2 year old after we had purchased the ABC video from this same series. Before we brought this video he knew what numbers were, but he did not understand that they represent a value. Although we have only watched it a couple of times, I noticed him counting with the vido during the first time that we saw it. He video succeeded in getting him interested in couting objects, including his toes, because it requires taking off his socks which is another favorite activity.The age range that the video represents is appropriate. If your child is ready to learn counting and numbers, the video is perfect. If your child already knows number values of 1 - 20, don't get the video. If your child is younger, you can get it and if they are not interested, it might just mean that they are not yet ready to learn the material."
Repetition and Catchy Tunes!

"I bought this for my daughter's first birthday (and for my 26 month old to enjoy as well). As you can imagine during the birthday party all the kids were running around, yelling, playing, etc.. Well, I popped this video in for some down time, and as soon as it started playing all the kids stopped what they were doing and became afixed to the TV. My husband came out of the kitchen asking what was going on, why was it so quiet. Since than, my kids have watched it several times and my son is now able to count to twenty! THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THANK YOU!!!"
Wonderful Educational Video

"I have nothing but praise for this video. Our son who is 4 has Pervasive Developmental Disability just loves this video. He was able to count to 10 before the video but only in some type of active game. Now he goes around counting everything. He is even recognizing the symbol for each number. Pretty amazing for a boy who didn't speak more than 30 words or want to interact too much 6 months ago!!! Keep in mind that this video series is meant to educate your child and it does it very well some things aren't meant to be entertaining even though this is to some degree. Sometimes simple and direct is better."
