Evening and morning routines take center stage in this two-episode tape. In "Go to Sleep," Bear's small bear friend Ojo is spending the night but fights sleep even though she is tired. Meanwhile, a friendly game of "Go Fish" in the kitchen keeps waking Tutter the Mouse, whose hole is only feet away. The whole gang wakes up from a slumber party at the house in "Morning Glory." Bear teaches them the importance of a good breakfast, brushing teeth, and allowing slow wakers like Ojo a chance to get their bearings, so to speak. The seven-foot adult stand-in also puts the kids to work while serenading them with a round of "Clean Up the House" before they head out for the day. If only it were that easy with little humans. Toddlers through kindergartners will enjoy this 48-minute video from the popular PBS series. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 My daughter's favorite September 20, 2009
J. Brown (Charlotte, NC USA)
This Bear in the Big Blue House captures all the charm and wonderment of getting ready for bed and getting up - and all of the "Bear" characters. The characters are alive with personality and my daughter loves it. My husband and I love it too. It is a "must have".
Great for Children September 17, 2009
A. Corso (usa)
I bought this DVD for my granddaughter and grandson. They love Bear in the Big Blue House. They keep the children's attention and also give them a lesson at the same time. They are just wonderful.
 Sorry, my son found it boring December 30, 2008
R. Myers (Gilbert, AZ United States)
My son loves Barney and Little People and would watch those for hours if I would let him (no way). I bought this DVD because I wanted to encourage him with tooth brushing and bed habits with a fun video. And, it took Bear and all of his friends...what seemed to be an hour of video...to get to bed! I was bored to tears. My toddler didn't last very long at all. The bed habits, which seemed more like "how much can I stall before I go to bed" or procrastinate, were not exactly what I wanted my son to learn. I just did not like this video at all. Sorry.
We also bought the Bear Dance Party Video. My son DOES like that one. To each their own, I guess!
Witty and friendly and funny April 28, 2007

Criteria for a children's video:
1. Do kids like it? Yes, my toddler loves this, sings along, and asks me to sing along, too.
2. Can the parents watch it without going bonkers? Yep, so far, so good, every time I see it again I notice new things. The puppets are sophisticated and the characters distinct. The music is fabulous, mostly inspired by modern American folk--how great to hear simple fiddle music and guitar instead of overproduced "showtunes." The simple music also means that if I sing the songs afterward, it sounds close to what my child remembers from the show.
3. Since kids will copy anything they see on TV or in a book, what is going on in this video? Gentle humor, good manners, good music. All things I'm glad to see her emulate.
That's the bare bones (ha!) of liking this series. But it goes beyond the basic. __Bear__ has subtle messages about food, getting along, and social differences. For instance, in one episode, Tutter the mouse is eating a sandwich, which he must learn to share. OK, we could see that coming. BUT! Without making a big deal over, it, the producers made the sandwich on whole wheat bread, quietly supporting good nutrition.
Another example or two; when Ojo the bear cub sleeps over, Bear makes her bed, very cozy, on the couch. When they have a birthday party (in a different episode), it's home made decorations and one meaningful present. A quiet message that you don't have to have a great deal of money to have a good time.
And there are significant female characters (Ojo, Shadow, Luna) who aren't made into gooey subservients as in so many kids videos (or feature films, for that matter).
Bear is the leader of the series, but often sings harmony to some other character, giving a simple message that you don't always have to be number one.
Hooray for Bear!
 Bear Rocks March 7, 2007
Lisa Folk (Houston, Texas)
As always bear keeps kids busy and teaches them at the same time. This one is excellent to help get them ready for bed too. Bear is great, he teaches about import things such as brushing teach, combing hair, potty training, the seasons, colors, to share, doctor office visiting, among many other things. The best pre-school has to offer.
