Dear Baby Bumble Bee, I am a busy working mom and have never actually written this type of review, but really wanted to share how much my husband and I value your products. We bought Vocabulary Builder #4 for our son Brandon when he was about six months old... He loved it immediately and over the months it was one of the things that would calm him when he was cranky. We later purchased #1 and #5. By 18 months he knew over 100 words. Now Brandon is two and has a wonderfully large vocabulary, speaks in sentences and talks constantly. Combined with our reading to Brandon at an early age, fostering a love of reading and engaging him in conversation, we really, in part, credit your videos for his speech development. Thanks so much and keep up the great work! - Debra R. / New York

Hi, I just wanted to drop you all a line to let you know how WONDERFUL my family thinks your videos are. At age 1, I bought my son the Vocabulary Builder 1 video and by age 2, he had gone through them all (Vol.5) knowing EVERY word on each tape. So that meant at the very least he learned 115 words in a year! He responds best to videos with real people/children in them so it was no problem for him to grasp all of the words quickly. I bought a cartoon type video that helps children learn letters yet he rarely even looks at the tv when it is on.

He is 2 now and I purchased Baby Math I and Action Words I. Although he knows his numbers through 20 as far as saying them, he is instantly attracted to the Baby Math video. I can tell already that a light is going off that numbers are used to count things.

I am very impressed with the Action Words video as well and I am sure it will help him speak better sentences. And, although he knows all of his alphabet, I am looking forward to purchasing your alphabet video that I didn't know you all had. I wished before that you all had one. We used Baby's First Impression alphabet video. He learned his alphabet but there is still not the attraction and the true learning going on. For instance, we have their numbers video and I know he has not learned the concept of counting.

What I like about your method also is that it is simple so there is not so much going so as to hinder the learning process. The music is at such a nice level that my son has occasionally gone to sleep at night to one of your videos. I recommend your videos to all of my friends and family. So, all in all, keep up the EXCELLENT work!

My son Tyler, 2 1/2 responded immediately to the Math Video and then we followed that up the sequencing and that's when I would find him counting things all over the house!! Now we have the colors, alphabet and are ordering the opposites one. Tyler will only watch real people and kids on TV and isn't exposed to any other program besides Sesame Street. My husband and I know he has learned so much from your educational videos and for that it was absolutely money well spent! Thank you so much.

We definitely started our 21-month-old daughter, Hallie, on "entertainment only" t.v. and videos too soon, and, as a result, we noticed her speech development was slightly behind. I panicked until I found your website. I was afraid that because she was used to "entertainment only" that she wouldn't respond as well to your videos, but I bought the 10-Volume Set anyway. To our pleasant surprise, she took to the videos almost right away! She can say all 69 words from the first 3 Vocabulary Builder videos - she even runs around trying to find the objects in our own home to show to us. I just wanted to say thank you so much for developing such a wonderful teaching tool to help parents to help children achieve their best!

"I have 15 month old twins. A boy and a girl. They received the vocabulary builder tapes 1, 2, and 3 for their one year birthday. The first time I played the 1st tape, the next day my daughter turned to me and pointed to her eyes and said "eyes". My son soon followed. Now they point to their eyes, and nose. They can say a lot of the words from all the tapes (cookie, shoes, cow, etc.) I love these tapes and cannot wait until more are released!
Alex, loves your videos. His vocabulary far exceeds the other children in his playgroup. Not only does he recognize the objects in the video but he recognizes them in his books and when we are out and about. My 15-month-old son has a vocabulary of almost 50 words."

"I just received the Bee Smart Baby™ Vocabulary Builder Volume 2 and had to write to tell you how pleased I am with the language development videos you have created. My husband and I watch the videos with our baby Katie.

"Katie was 12 months old when she started watching Volume 1 and 15 months old with Volume 2. We all enjoy watching them and are amazed at how quickly Katie's vocabulary is increasing day by day. Katie Seems to interact with these videos a great deal more than with the other early development videos we have purchased for her. She is entranced and entertained by all the videos, and can be calmed down and lulled to sleep by the repetition of the other videos. We particularly enjoy your early language videos , we get to see immediate results with them. Katie shouts out the words with the visual images. We especially like the mixing of real and toy images. We know she is most excited when she sees other children, so with the visual images being presented with children, she is most apt to pay close attention to them.

"When we took Katie for her 15 month checkup with her pediatrician, the physician asked us to estimate the number of words that she clearly makes us understand. We were proudly able to tell her about 30. The pediatrician then informed us that some toddlers this age could only verbalize a few words that included Mama & Dada. We feel that your videos have significantly added to Katies verbal skills."

"My daughter has the Vocabulary series 1-5 and loves them! She started watching the videos at 12 months and the rate that she was learning the words was amazing! These videos keep her attention to this day and that's after a year of having them! Recently we purchased the Numeracy video and again, my daughter (24 months) tuned right into the video. I have been trying to teach her to count, but in reality all I did was help her to memorize numbers. She can count to 20 but could not clap 5 times or tell me that there are 3 bananas in front of her. After watching this video only 2 times she can now COUNT objects. I am amazed at the progress she has achieved just by watching these videos. I look forward to the next Numeracy volume! Happy Learning."
