Review As the world grows smaller -- and children grow smarter -- along comes Global Wonders, a warm and delightful new series that joyfully invites kids to open the door to the glorious diversity of our international family. Colorfully animated, cleverly scripted and crammed with live-action clips that depict the rich tapestry of our shared world culture, Global Wonders is destined to take its place among the best and brightest of children's entertainment. I love this series! --Bruce Kluger - Parenting MagazineThe Global Wonders DVD series is one of the better new introductions I have seen all year. Highly engaging through the entire program with colorful, high quality animation. Receives an overall A Grade and the TTT mark of excellence indicating that a product has been triple tested by trained researchers, educators, parents and children. A toy with a TTT rating means that it exceeds our standards and has been rated to deliver a fun play experience that also stimulates developmental learning skills. --Marianne Szymanski Toy Tips Magazine and The Toy Research InstituteThe sheer vitality and depth of Mexican history and culture as it is captured here is as spellbinding as it is informative. All this is woven seamlessly and gracefully into the adventures of Marisa, Brianna, and Trey and their families, in such a way that learning is both incidental and natural. Global Wonders: Mexico is rich in cultural and historical facts and is beautifully designed to engage young children in a way that is aesthetically engaging, developmentally appropriate and educationally enriching. --Dr. J.K.

Good purchase for pre-school/kindergarten
This is a very good and informative dvd that teaches about culture, and language. where this dvd fell short for me is i thought it would appeal to children between 4-10 years old but it is mainly designed to appeal to ages 4-6. Otherwise this was a good purchase.

Gift for Eric
I have not viewed "Global Wonders: Mexico", but it was sent to a friend of mine and he loves it. Thank you for the excellent turn around time. I thank you and Eric thanks you.

Great new product!
This new line of children's videos is fantastic! We have a pretty large video library in our home and my kids repeatedly ask to watch their new Global Wonders DVDs, sometimes even two or three times in a row. The concept of introducing children to different, and perhaps unfamiliar, cultures is novel and well executed. The music is catchy (I often find myself humming the theme song) but not in an annoying way. The content is interesting and covers a wide variety of topics including food, music, cultural events, historical figures and places of interest. Overall I would definitely recommend this series to anyone looking to enhance their child's understanding of the world they live in.

Highly Recommend - Great for introducing Mexican Culture!
This is a great video for introducing Mexican culture to children. I was able to screen a copy with my five year old daughter. She was fascinated with the entire video. She loved the characters, the music, and "real life" footage. It moves along at a great pace able to cover Mexican music, food, "Dia de los Muertos", a Quinceanera, Aztec & Mayan history ....and more. My daughter also enjoyed playing along with the interactive component and learning some Spanish vocabulary along with the characters. This is a great educational video but so much fun. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Great series - My child absolutely loves them
My four year old daughter loves this series. Like most four year old girls, she can be very picky (about everything!) and this is her hands down favorite things to watch. While being very entertaining (some of the Baby and Little Einstein people are the creative forces behind this), this is also a great educational experience. Our daughter has asked us to learn more about some of the themes touched on in this series. Overall, this is very highly recommended.
