Product description
The popular Nickelodeon Jr. show for the 2-4 age group does an excellent job of introducing simple vocabulary and numerical concepts in these two episodes. In the first, Steve and his dog Blue's house is labeled to discover what book Blue wants to have read to her. The labels (everything from "refrigerator" to "wall") are treated lightly, Steve mostly asking the audience to name the first letter of each word. Steve and Blue also work on constructing a simple sentence. In the second episode, Blue wants to buy something. Simple counting games and a shopping trip to The Present Store make for a solid exploration of numbers. Addition, subtraction, and even fractions are on the menu.

"ABC's and 123's" is just one of the many videos we have for him to watch over and over, and even though he is too young to really learn from the education standpoint, he still appreciates Blue, and all their friends.
The music and cartoon characters all seem to keep his attention, and now that he has been watching for awhile, they are all like old friends. Blue, Sidetable drawer, mailbox(he loves the mailtime song),and all the other characters they meet in each episode entice him into keeping his eyes on the screen. I don't think he is a big lover of Steve. Steve comes off as very goofy. He is trying to have fun and be a friend to children, but to me it comes off way too goofy, and I think even my son sees this too.
"Blue's Clues" itself has been a huge commerical success and the marketing for it amazes me. They have every single toy you can think of. My baby is already being sucked in by the media frenzy!!! eeek!!! Anyway, this is a fun video, and he will have it for a long time as in another year he will really be listening and learning. He does learn now, he picks up words here and there. The overall lessons taught though are far beyond what he can grasp.
Still recommended!!! Toddlers will love the cartoon characters and music..and they will be watching for a few years...

Blues Clues VHS tapes (yes, VHS tapes) are a favorite of my grandson, so I was glad to find this one.

前半はアルファベットの紹介というか、スペル・リーディングの導入・文章の組み立て方について。でもNICK JR.のおなじみキャラクター”FACE"が最初にABCの歌を歌ってくれます。
TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STARを一緒に読んだり、文章を正しく並び替えたりします(ここが特によく出来ています)。
当時1歳半だった息子は”AGAIN! AGAIN!"と何度も何度も繰り返し見たがり、1週間後には台詞を家族中が丸暗記してしまったほど。
いつもとちょっと違うのは、すべてのものにスペルが書かれていること。STEVEお兄さんの背中にまで!
おかげでしばらく私と夫はわざと”Can you get me a P.A.P.E.R?" や、”I saw J.I.M. with his girlfriend today."などといって遊んでいました。
後半は簡単な足し算・引き算をわかりやすく教えてくれます。
内容的には5~6歳向きかもしれませんが、私の英語教室の生徒さん(1歳~10歳)からは年齢を問わず大絶賛です。
絶対絶対オススメの1本です!
特に”うちの子は日本語じゃないと見ない”と言うお母様方。
試していただきたいです!
また、英語は多少できるけれど、小さい子に日常生活の中でどんな風に話しかけたらよいのか良くわからない、
という親御さんにも参考になると思います。
ABCの方は、アルファベットの導入ではなく、reading の導入ですので、
入門ではありますが超初心者向けではないです。
歌や踊りはほとんどなく、スティーブの語りかけ(聞き取り易い、やさしい英語ですが、普通の会話です)が中心です。
2歳になったばかりの私の娘は今まで歌って踊るものが大好きでしたが、スティーブも気に入ったようです。
これからシリーズの他のものも欲しいと思っています。
まだ小さかったので絵をみて楽しんでいる位の反応しか見られませんでしたが、従姉妹の4歳になる息子に見せてみると英語がまったく分からないにも関わらず見ていたので映像として小さいうちから見せて耳で英語に馴染ませるには良いかと思います。小学校に上がる前の子供向け番組なので1~3歳くらいの子供にはストーリー的には難しいかもしれませんが親の私が見て楽しんでいます。文法的なものも出てくるので初心に返って子供と英語の勉強中です
