1. I have the original VHS and cassette versions of your products-- which are wearing out and they are family favorites. My seven-year-old still loves listening to the songs, and I have a new baby on the way who I'd love to share them with as well.

It's hard to come by great, traditional -- and some new (for me anyway)-- Spanish childrens' music that isn't too annoying or fast or with too many voices that dilute the clarity of the words. That's all we've been able to come across, in spite of having family in South America. Your product is the first I've been able to recommend- and that's coming from a Spanish teacher. --A. Tejada

2. I am a first time grandparent and care for my grandson three days per week. (Lucky Me!!) My daughter received your "First Words" video as a shower gift. I am amazed at how my grandson is so attentive to this video. I have been playing the tape almost daily because he enjoys it so very much. I am purchasing a full kit of your product. I am even purchasing the Spanish set. Hopefully, I will learn Spanish along with my grandson! Next week we will celebrate his first birthday. I look forward to enjoying many hours of learning together!
Thank you for your commitment to children!

3. My name is Bette K. I have an M.A. in Educational Psychology. I see so many children’s books, videos, and music CDs that say that they are educational for babies, but your products really are. I have watched vol. 2 and 3 of the videos and can see the research reflected in your presentation. I am impressed by the art work and the use of music. Congratulations on an excellent product line.

4. My little boy is 20 months old and loves your shapes and letters videos. He identifies circles not only in your videos but anywhere else he finds them. I have noticed that he likes to look at the pictures on the video covers. He even carries the covers around like he does some of his books. Have you considered creating board books of your videos? I know my little boy would enjoy looking though them and I would enjoy reading them to him. Just a thought.
Sincerely,
Teah S.

5. My daughter (16 mo) absolutely loves the video! She first watched it at about 8 mos, and I was amazed at the way she was entranced, laughing and bouncing and waving her hands. No other video (not even Barney, Pooh, Teletubbies or Babysongs) got that kind of response! I have wholeheartedly recommended it to my friends. So, thank you very much for a great piece of work! I will be watching for future videos!
Sincerely, Susan F.

6. Good Morning, We must let you know that we absolutely love your videos. We have a 2-1/2 year old son that has been watch your So Smart! series videos since he was 5 months old. At 18 month he was able to recite the alphabet and count to 10, he knows all his shapes and colors, thanks to your very interesting videos.
Sincerely,
Francine and Matt L.

P.S. We are expecting another baby in about 5 weeks and would love to continue this type of education with her as well.

7. This is one of my 17 month old's favorite videos. He asks to see it almost every day! Great way to teach beginning sounds (instead of the letter names, which can be learned after the sounds are learned)! Also great for beginning to recognize words. (So Smart: All about Shapes is very good, too!)

8. Hello, my name is Elizabeth K. and I have an eight month old baby girl. Her all time favorite video (ever since she could see the TV) is the Spanish language video. If I played it for her a thousand times a day, she'd watch it intently every single time! Thanks!
Elizabeth

9. Wonderful video for teaching letters. This is a great video for teaching letters. My daughter is 15 months old. She's watched the A-F portion of this video, maybe, 10 times and she can now say ABCDE & F. She is also starting to recognized a few of those letters. This video has great graphics and wonderful music.

10. A friend had the letters video and I was impressed that her girl learned the alphabet by age 3. –Andrea H.

11. My son has " Shapes". He loves Cecil, Suzie and Tracie. What a wonderful video for him...calming and musically perfect.
–Art H.

12. So Smart is the GREATEST because it is something that every child needs. One grandma just told me very excitedly. "Bella just bangs on the TV, she wants to watch her movie again and again," she obviously bought another! She is only 7 months too.

13. My mother-in-law got my 14-months-old son your Spanish Box Set for Christmas. I LOVE it!!! That was the best gift anyone could ever given. Ever since then, I am on a mission to find good children's songs in Spanish like yours. I've been online, bookstores, children's retail stores, everywhere, but unfortunately I cannot find any decent "children's songs" CD. There is some music CD's in Spanish claiming that they are for kids. Yes, some upbeat fun songs are on them (maybe great for older kids but not for toddlers), but nothing like your selection of songs.
Best Regards,
Midori L.

14. I just thought I would tell you that our 21 month old son loves the "First Words" video. He calls it the "up-down" video because of the first scene with the ball bouncing up and down. He anticipates the following scene all the time, and says the word before it comes on the screen. He is also a Blues Clues fan, but his first choice every morning is the "Up Down" video. Thanks for your product.

15. We have the So Smart shapes video and both parents and toddler LOVE it. We've probably watched it 20 times in the last four months. If we try putting on other made-for-infant videos, Hazel tells us she wants the shapes video by saying, "Circle walking?" And we parents happen to agree -- the other ones on the market are frenetic. They are overstimulating without any continuity or "story," and no real teaching).

16. I have several of your products, and I think they are great (and so does my child)! I also recommend your products to my friends who have children.

17. My son is now 16 months and we have been showing him five of your videos for almost a year. He loves them! They are a great way for him to relax and I like them as well.
--Kevin K., Happy customer

18. Just to let you know. My son who is 13 months old. Loves your videos & has been watch them since he was 3 or 4 months. When we put the video in & just the beginning starts he starts to giggle with excitement. They are wonderful.
--Jennifer S.

1. My girls love it! Honestly, it was the first time my 17 1/2 month old sat and watched something. She even started to say some of the words from the video while she was watching it.

2. My just turned one year old daughter and almost three year old son love the new So Smart video. As soon as they hear the opening song they come running(and crawling) to watch it! My eldest joins in the songs and the stories - singing along and telling the characters what to do. I like the fact that the video is segmented. This provides natural breaking points that make it easy to allow them to watch short clips at a time.

Christopher (almost 3 years old) will say, "I want to see Larry". He runs to the TV once he hears the music of First Words! Once he is watching he starts singing, "Hello Larry, Hello Iggy, Hello Edward, Hello Dee Dee." When reviewing what new words he learned, Christopher can't wait to scream, "Soap!" "Radio!" "Sink!". His interaction with the show is fun to watch; as he tells them not to get too dirty or to pick up the phone. Christopher answers the questions on the show as if he the characters are talking directly to him! Now his 1 year old sister is watching the show with him.

It is amazing how the First Words video captures their attention just like the other So Smart videos. So Smart you really nailed this one! —Kathi H.

3. I just wanted to thank you for putting together such a nice group of videos for our precious kids! My daughter Mariah 2 1/2 loves them. She has language delays due to her extra 21st chromosome. Because of her Down syndrome, she needs all the extra help she can get to help her language and speech skills. I absolutely love your concept and have highly recommended them and I have even put them into our online support site with a link that takes them to your website. —Nancy H.

4. My 1 1/2 year old daughter Madeline is entranced by this video. She loves it, and is picking up new words all the time! Thanks, and kudos on a wonderful product. —Michael M.

5. “Our daughter Sydney loves the new First Words series. During lunch, she asks to watch Iggy and Edward on our laptop. She loves to sing and dance along with the theme song. It’s amazing that she knows each individual episode, and requests a different one everyday.” —Michael L.

6. I spoke to you earlier today, to say how pleased I am with the So Smart! videos. As I explained, my son is 2-1/2 years old and hasn't been talking at all. Since he's been watching your videos, he says a few basic words and he can repeat how most letters sound. We can't be more happy that he loves them so much. I hope you let the company know how much we appreciate the quality of your videos. Thanks again from a happy mother! —Judy B.

7. “My youngest son really has had a hard time talking. He tries, but is not especially motivated to learn new words, as his older brothers choose to “translate” for him. When we recently tried the Baby’s First Word Stories DVD from So Smart! Productions, it turned out to be a big step forward in his speech development. It was fun to watch my son engaged in the video and feeling good about his verbal accomplishments. I’m excited to see the future developments from the series.” —Lindsay K

1. Kayla’s favorite video!
--Sharon P., mother of two

2. Can we watch it again?!
--Ben S., age 6

3. The kids are transfixed while watching these movies, and during the movie they comment on the consequences of, say, not sharing. Then, after the show, they want to talk about the story. There is a true emotional response and understanding of what sharing, patience and tolerance are all about. Amazing!
--Janet M., School Teacher and mother of two

4. A modern-day Dr. Seuss meets Disney musical!
--Barbara N., Grandmother

5. My four year old really enjoyed her DVD. I love a story with a lesson and you managed to teach an important lesson in a unique way. When I saw my girls reactions, especially my 17 1/2 month old's, I said to myself "I'm buying all of them!"
