A must for little Little Bear fans
rating: 5
If the little ones in your life love Little Bear, than this DVD is great. Runs long enough to get some things done, or to set settle down before afternoon naps.

Good choice for young children
rating: 4
If you are looking for good cartoons for very young children to watch, the "Little Bear" series is an excellent choice. These videos are nonviolent, reasonably engaging and intelligent, and they generally teach good values and problem solving. It's not great art, but it is entertaining and won't insult your child's intelligence. Based on a series of books written by Else Homelund Minarik in the 1960s, this is good family fare -- you can park your kid in front of these films and not have to worry about disturbing or inappropriate content. Whew! Thank goodness.
The episodes are short and each disc has quite a lot of content on them... a lot of bang for your buck. These have been big hits around our household. (ReadThatAgain)

Not as Good as Rainy Day Tales
rating: 3
My 2.5yr-old daughter loves to watch Little Bear on TV and usually cries when it's over, so I knew it was time to buy one of the DVD's. We rented Little Bear - Rainy Day Tales, Little Bear's Band, and The Little Bear Movie before deciding to buy Rainy Day Tales. I give this one 3 stars because it's true, my daughter loved it. I didn't give it 4 or 5 stars, though, because as an adult some things annoyed me. Three of the episodes make up a 3-part story about a skunk looking for love, and I didn't like his character as much as the regulars - he's kind of weird and spacey. Also, my daughter would lose interest during these episodes - I think the content was not so interesting to her. The episode "Diva Hen", while admittedly very funny, got on my nerves after awhile, with Hen squawking opera for most of it. Both my daughter and I just enjoyed Rainy Day Tales better - I recommend renting each ahead of time if you can, before purchasing - it really helped us decide.
(We also rented Little Bear - Feel Better Little Bear but it stopped after one episode, so I had to select an episode and push PLAY for each episode - kind of defeated the purpose for a mom trying to get things done. I don't know if it was just that one dvd, though, or if they're all like that. We did like the episodes we saw, but it was too much hassle.)
