Curious kids want to know all about the world around them, no matter the status of their passports. Wee Bee Tunes wacky travel guides, like Alexander Salamander and Cuddly Wuddly Wombat, make enthusiastic tour leaders, accompanying viewers ages 4 through 10 on a musical journey that traverses the world. Historical backgrounds, customs, famous festivals, and major tourist attractions are touched upon for countries like England, Antarctica, Egypt, and the United States. Who could resist a day of shopping at Istanbul's world famous Grand Bazaar in the company of Mae Lin Yak, or a trip down the Amazon River with Oswaldo the Soccer Otter? An onscreen map shows the location of each continent and country, while bright animation and lively, original songs in a variety of styles keep children interested and attentive. This 40-minute program presents basic information about 14 countries in an entertaining, musical format. --Tami Horiuchi

 They love it! March 7, 2008
My children (almost 4 and 5) love this video "as much as Diego". For them that is saying a lot. I love it because it makes geography fun, introduces the continents, and has delightful songs. Each continent is represented by a different animal. The animal takes you on a tour of something on his or her continent. Sometimes they meet (like in Istanbul) at places that are near or in two continents. The songs show the flavor of the area. Some of the places covered are more obscure (the Grand Bazaar) while others are more familiar (London). I thought there was nice variety.
Fastastic for my 3 & 5 November 3, 2007
I bought this item in hopes to expose my kids to cultures around the world, and they are fascinated. I didn't want anything too detailed or "boring" since my kids are still very young. I couldn't have found a better match, my kids sing the songs and tell their stories, now they want to go to the library to learn more about the "race to the South Pole".
Kids love them! August 7, 2006
Our kids absolutely love these. They are very well done and come highly recommended from someone who has bought lots of educational DVDs for my kids over the last 7 years!
Truly Educational! July 17, 2005

My son is familiar with the World map and the globe and all the seven continents since he was 16 months old. When I learned about this video I immediately purchased it and indeed it's a great complement and supplement to what he's already learned! At 21 months old, he's been around the World vicariously! His favorite of all places is Timbuktu!!! He keeps asking me to rewind back to the country of Mali to see Timbuktu again (5X !!ugh) Then Turkey and then Nepal! And Egypt! ... I had to play this video about 3 times everyday and even I'm enjoying it! -- and oh he loves Paris when it mentioned the Mona Lisa painting and Artists Monet and Renoir since he's already familiar with them also!
 Too much animation March 23, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
When I bought this I was thinking that they would have colorful, real pictures of the places travelled to with animated characters to keep the kids entertained (kind of like National Geographics Geo Kids videos). I don't think my kids get the full feel of visiting places around the world through all the busy cartoon animation. Good video, but not what I was expecting.
