Don't bother
This is poorly done. Nursery rhymes are not done in both languages, it has some in English and some in Spanish, but none in both languages.

My kids love it!
We recently bought this video for our kids, and they really love it. The youngest one is 2 and he can't get enough of the puppets; I hear him singing the songs in his bed at night, which is great since he really seems to be taking to the two language format (he does hear some spanish at home, so it isn't totally new, but the songs definitely make the second language more learnable in a kid-friendly way). This video definitely isn't high-tech or highly animated, making it more like Sesame Street video than Dora or Baby Einstein, but it has a classic simple charm that kids relate to, and I love the fact that there are real kids singing and dancing, and that the songs are tried and true classic children's songs; plus it doesn't have that Disney-esque sleekness that Baby Einstein took on. The printed lyrics that were included also help me sing along to! If you are looking for a way to introduce more spanish to your kids, this is a great little video.

GREAT find!
Fun, entertaining for kids and adults and educational. It would be nicer if all the song words could be understood and this is from someone who grew up listening to and speaking Spanish.

Don't buy it!
I am surprised that so many people like this video. I think it is the worst video I have bought. I want my young son to learn Spanish but this is not the video to help him do that. There are no subtitles and I cannot understand the words. Other bilingual videos I have purchased have subtitles and I put them on the Spanish subtitles. The video does not appear to be professionally made. It looks like someone just took their video camera and shot some footage of kids jumping around. If I could have, I would have given it 0 stars. If you are looking for a good bilingual video purchase Sesame Street's Fiesta.

Not what I expected
The songs are okay; however it looked rather cheesy. I bought it to use in my classroom, but somehow it's not interesting enough (to me). Some of the songs are nice, but its really just a translated version of many english songs. Also, the fact that there weren't any Hispanic children on the DVD rather disturbed me.

My grandkids love this video!
We have been looking for a spanish-language video for my grandchildren to watch, and we just found this DVD & the other Cantarima DVDs. We love all of them. The children love the puppets, the music and the colors. I really like the fact that the songs are real Spanish children's songs, the ones that I knew growing up, so that my grandchildren are learning both Spanish and true Spanish songs as well. Plus the bilingual DVDs teach English songs, which my grandchildren know from preschool, so they really love to sing along, and then they are learning to sing along in Spanish too! Highly recommend these DVDs.

My baby loves it
My 11-month-old has been happily watching this for months. The puppets are adorable and there is plenty of variety both visually and in the soundtrack. Our baby likes to watch the toddlers and preschoolers, but the puppets are her favorite. My husband is a Spanish-speaker but as I am at home with her all day and speak mainly English, it's great for her to have more exposure to basic conversational Spanish. I have also been able to pick up some traditional Spanish nursery rhymes/songs (comes with a songsheet so you can learn the words).

Not as nice as others...
I recently got this DVD as a present... I have to say it is not as nice as I expected to be. Compared to other DVDs in Spanish we own (the A la Víbora de la Mar series) this one seems to be of a much lower quality. Also, the songs and the music are not as nice, and there is too much English involved. My other complaint is that although it states that it uses traditional Hispanic nursery Rhymes, some of the songs are not-so great-translations of English nursery rhymes...
If you want every video out there to introduce your baby to Spanish, buy this one too. But if you have to choose, I would definetly go for Los Colores de Rufino, 123 Cuentame un Cuento, or Do Re Mi Nino.

Great spanish songs for kids
My kids (age 2 & 6) really enjoy this video, and I like it too because I feel like they are learning, and they are definitely entertained. I am a native Spanish speaker, and I like the fact that the accents and the Spanish are authentic, not like some other DVDs. Plus the focus on songs is great, I grew up singing many of the same songs, so it is great that my kids can learn these songs too. My kids seem to like the fact that the DVD is bilingual and jumps back and forth between English and Spanish songs, they know the English songs and are learning more the Spanish songs. Recommend this for anyone who wants their children to know more about Spanish.
