This is a DVD with 12 segments and a little paperback book that goes with each segment. Each of the 12 parts has a cute animated skit introducing a vowel and its sound in a memorable way. Then a song follows, with the words to the song lighting up at the bottom of the screen karaoke-style. The songs are really cute and recorded with real instruments, in styles like funk, disco, latin, punk rock, etc. We have watched this regularly for almost a year and a half and neither kids or parents are tired of it. The words of the songs are very simple but clever and the animations are cute. Our kids get up and dance to every song. The payoff comes when they look at the books and find that they remember the songs well enough to "read" the books. Mine aren't really reading yet but we got this when they were only 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 so what do you expect? The older one enjoys trying to follow along with the book while the DVD plays. Mostly we just really enjoy watching this together. We call it "Al Can!" because that is the first real song after the introduction.

If Leap Frog wanted to improve this product, I would suggest making the books out of something more durable than paper - like a board book. Ours are still in good shape but only because of Mommy's constant vigilance!

My kids (age 20 months and 3 1/2) really enjoy watching this. The music has a great beat and at the same time I know they're learning. They haven't done the read-along w/ the books yet. They may be too young for that. Definitely a worth while purchase.

I cannot say enough good things about this 12 book and 1 dvd package. It is fun, educational and entertaining. I have 2 boys, ages 3.5 and 2. It is the only thing they will sit and watch all the way through and ask to wath it again! And I don't mind because I love the songs and have time to complete things around the house. Every parent needs a copy.

The only thing I don't like about this product is they go to fast when reading book along with the Dvd. Being I have a 5 yr old that's a beginner in reading, I was excepting that it will read at a slow pace. It actually doesn't read, it sings the words. I know it says Sing Along, but didn't think the whole reading was singing. My kids do enjoy the Dvd very much. Instead, I have him to read the books separately without the Dvd.

I have a 3-yr old daughter and 20-month old son. This product of LeapFrog made my daughter sang and got interest on those little books. After a couple of views, she already knew the title of the 12 books. Pretty amazing product for a beginner. It teaches and encourages my children to read. My son is enjoying it too. I highly recommend this product.
