 Kids Go Wild for This One!Mar 14, 2010
By Jennifer Bogart
"@ Quiverfullfamily.com"
We all have them - our top choices for babysitting DVDs. These are the ones you pop into the DVD player when you're desperate for 30 minutes of relatively interruption-free time to get some work done. Rock `N Learn's Dance with the Animals DVD for preschoolers is at the absolute top of my list for times when I need to keep my crew occupied.
My children love live-action footage of animals, and animals in general, so the combination of computer animated hosts (Katie Cat, Rex Rooster, Freddy Fox), with real footage of animals, and children dancing in front of colorful backgrounds really fits the bill in our house. They don't need any encouragement from me they're soon clapping their hands, imitating animal noises, and prancing around our living room to the lively songs.
Simple animal facts are related in song and through the interaction of the hosts, and animal sounds are also presented for most of the animals (it's funny listening to my toddler trying to imitate all of their noises). The live footage includes more than 60 creatures, and when they come on screen my 20-month old squeals, points, and jabbers excitedly - this is definitely her favorite part of the DVD, though she loves the dancing songs as well. Animals are presented from the farm, forest, and zoo, as well as common domestic animals and African wildlife.
I was surprised to see how much my older children enjoyed the DVD as well. My three-year-old had actually asked for me to get her a copy, and she loves to dance with her sisters, but even my six-year-old jumps into the action as soon as I pop the disc in. Recommended for children age two and over, the children on-screen correspond with the ages and sizes of my own children - an assortment of preschool and early elementary aged little ones.
The main portion of the DVD is 35 minutes long (my toddler just watched through 27-minutes of it without needing me once.) Two bonus segments are also included, "Where are the Farm Animals?" and "The Sound Farm". These are a bit corny as they include static images of live animals against a colorful background. These pictures are rocked back and fort to suggest movement. My kids really like "The Sound Farm Song" though the very simple animal location game in "Where are the Farm Animals?" is something of a miss.
The computer-graphics are somewhat simplistic; textures are flat, and colors tend to be simple bold blocks of color. Honestly though, I don't care! My children adore this DVD; they go absolutely wild for it. That combined with an emphasis on education and movement makes it a winner in my book. Parents may also want to note that this disc presents no information related specifically to either evolution or creation.
This disc won't give you a quiet time to get some work done - your children will be squealing, laughing, and making animal sounds - but it will certainly keep your children occupied, happy, and they even get to pick up some simple educational information about animal habitats, caring for pets, and other informative tidbits.

Superbly produced and presentedNov 06, 2006
By Midwest Book Review
Designed for the enjoyment and active 'dance along' participation of children ages 3 to 6, "Dance With The Animals is a superbly produced and presented 45 minute DVD in which young viewers learn about more than sixty different animals and put their own creative imaginations into play by imitating those animals. Combining live action with animation, children not only enjoy the music and dance (which enhances the motor skills associated with creative movement and the cognitive skills of listening and following directions) while learning about animals common to the farm, the forest, and found at the zoo. The fourteen segments comprising "Dance With The Animals" include: Animals, Animals; Learn About Pets; Pet Care; Pet Sounds Game; Pet Parade; Farm Animals; Farm Game; The Sound Farm; Barnyard Dance; Forest Animals; Forest Homes; Forest Frolic; Zoo Animals; and Safari Line. With a total running time of 44 minutes, this full-color, informative and fun, "Dance With The Animals" will make a wonderfully popular addition to family, preschool, kindergarten, and community library DVD collections for kids.
Love, Love, Love It!!!May 20, 2011
By Susan
The kids and I love this video and see it almost every day. Our twins are 2.5, and are just beginning to distinguish between the various animal groups (farm animals, pets, wild animals, etc.). This DVD teaches them differences, as well as various songs and dances. We enjoy dancing along with the real-life kids featured in the video, and I always laugh when I see Rex Rooster walking his dog.
Great educational dvdMar 06, 2011
By Jane
After much consideration I chose this series over Leapfrog, My Baby Can Read & Hooked on Phonics. Of all the Rock & Learn dvd's this one is her favorite. She loves the different animals, hearing the sounds they make & dancing along w/ them & the kids.

 So bad, I want to warn other parents!Jan 03, 2007
By D. Benjamin
We got this at the library, and if you are looking for insipid lyrics, trite music, and poor animation, this is the DVD for you. It's marked for ages three and up, but unless your preschooler doesn't yet know that a cow goes "moo" and an owl lives in a tree, I don't think they will learn anything new! It's truly one of the worst children's DVDs I've ever seen.
