This is a fantastic DVD! My son 4 and half years with Aspergers has watched it over and over. Then he has talked to me about emotions, we have had discussions using the characters and different scenarios about emotions, at home, kindy and with friends. Highly recommended.

My son has Aspergers and this is a fantastic resource that has helped him learn about emotions. Highly recommended! They learn while they watch.

The family I am seeing were very pleased with it (I suggested they could help their 4 year old to write a review). It really worked for him getting him started on being able to talk about and label emotions by giving them all a common frame of reference
