| If you want an update to Schoolhouse Rock, this DVD is a good one, and one of the few choices available. Multiplication facts for each number through 12 are in songs. These are sung by children and two adults as they "travel around the world" (via green screen and superimposed photos and videos of international locations). The puppets, who sing and tell jokes, are the best and funniest and like Muppets characters. I was hoping that the music would present the multiplication in a slightly more catchy style. This would be good in a classroom setting and important for public libraries to have in kids' DVD sections. I like the Googol Power website, which was why I purchased this. Still, it is a little goofy, but maybe that's ok for the audience of first through fifth graders. |
