Customer Rating: 
Summary: Forget "NO!", this one's great
Comment: If you gave up on liking the TMBG kids music because of NO!! (which was forgettable outside of 2 cuts) give them another shot.
Within 3-4 spins and you'll be singing along:
"Zeros.....zeros mean so much"
"There's only 1 everything..."
"We want cake! Where's our cake?"
"Six knows how to stand on its head.."
"On Monday, I never go to work..."
"Nine pirate girls...pirate girls...pirate girls"
"Grab a circle with both hands and twist it, that's an 8..."
"High five..UP TOP!...low five..DON'T STOP!..slap me five...WOO!...down low...too slow"
Besides teaching the basic 1-10 numbers, TMBG also teaches a little beginning addition, the concept of placeholders (in "Zeros") and days of the week. There's also an attempts to teach the concept of odd and even numbers
(which is a pretty catchy song but doesn't quite buttonhole the concept all the way for kids). You also learn to count seconds (the venerable "Mississippi" method) and that the prefix "tri" means "three" ("Triops Has 3 Eyes")
Besides the catchy songs, the videos themselves are bright and colorful cartoons that compiment the songs well. (Especially for "Seven Days of the Week (I Never Go to Work)". Recommended highly.

Summary: Catchy Music
Comment: This reminds me of "School House Rock"...catchy tunes, fun videos, and learning. I often find myself humming some of the songs when I'm by myself. My daughters, 3 and 2, love the dvd. They laugh and sing along and I would recommend this to anyone with small children. I would also give this as a gift.

Summary: Where's the Infinity video?
Comment: We're puzzled that we don't have a video for "Infinity" on the DVD.
It is the song right after the road trip on the CD. Is this just our copy? Does anyone else have an Infinity video on the DVD?
We do love this (4-year-old plus parents - long time TMBG fans; saw them in the 80's at Cabaret Metro in Chicago).
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great
Comment: We love this DVD. My twin 3 year olds ask to watch this all the time and the songs are catchy so we don't mind playing it all the time.
