We bought this combo pack as well as the comes the ABCs cd/dvd pack. Found the CDs overrated. The DVD is still OK, our son watched it somewhat, (since we did not have his regular programs… so he sat for the animations) (though we both found it real annoying, though it was little better than ABCs dvd). The CD however is a different story….our son starts crying whenever we put this CD on. I think the words are overshadowed by the loud music and he prefers less overcrowded music or simpler cleaner music. It might be a good CD for some kids or mebbe even the older kids… but my 2 year old can’t stand it !! Same goes for Here comes the ABCs.
That being said, since each kid has his own likes and dislikes, you might be the other half who likes it ! To give a background my son positively adores Jim Gill’s (sneezing song and other contagious tunes), and 101 toddler favourites (4 CD pack by Music for little people)…. we have had endless road trips just because of these life savers (though as parents,we ended up with a headache hearing them far too many times). So if your toddler has the same interests..you know 123s pack/ABCs pack is NOT FOR THEM.

First let me say that I am a huge fan of TMBG. My husband and I love their other children’s CDs. Shoot… My husband and I are known to break out and start singing songs from Hear Come the ABCs. As you can imagine we were extremely excited when our kids got this set from their grandparents for Christmas.
Unfortunately… 15 seconds into the DVD we turned it off and will never turn it back on. The first track quite obviously fails to distinguish between theory and law. It doesn’t teach science. It teaches that whatever scientists happen to say right now today is the ultimate arbiter of truth. Not only is that completely false, it is entirely against the true principles of real science which are about exploration and experimentation.
Evolution is rammed down your throat in this video. It is not presented as a theory. For crying out loud track 6 is called “My brother, the ape.”
Angels are described as something in stories… but obviously not real.
I am an anesthesiologist. I am extremely well educated when it comes to science. This dvd has nothing to do with science. Its pure propaganda… and it does science no favors.

If you gave up on liking the TMBG kids music because of NO!! (which was forgettable outside of 2 cuts) give them another shot.
Within 3-4 spins and you’ll be singing along:
“Zeros…..zeros mean so much”
“There’s only 1 everything…”
“We want cake! Where’s our cake?”
“Six knows how to stand on its head..”
“On Monday, I never go to work…”
“Nine pirate girls…pirate girls…pirate girls”
“Grab a circle with both hands and twist it, that’s an 8…”
“High five..UP TOP!…low five..DON’T STOP!..slap me five…WOO!…down low…too slow”
Besides teaching the basic 1-10 numbers, TMBG also teaches a little beginning addition, the concept of placeholders (in “Zeros”) and days of the week. There’s also an attempts to teach the concept of odd and even numbers
(which is a pretty catchy song but doesn’t quite buttonhole the concept all the way for kids). You also learn to count seconds (the venerable “Mississippi” method) and that the prefix “tri” means “three” (“Triops Has 3 Eyes”)
Besides the catchy songs, the videos themselves are bright and colorful cartoons that compiment the songs well. (Especially for “Seven Days of the Week (I Never Go to Work)”. Recommended highly.
