Sara Hickman's "Big Bird, Little Bird" DVD review and giveaway! - ended

 And the winner is Gianna! Congrats!

I have several children's DVD's I'll be reviewing and giving away this week! So don't forget to come back and enter to win!

First up is “Big Bird, Little Bird” a new DVD from Singer/Songwriter Sara Hickman!

I wasn't familiar with Sara Hickman, so I didn't know what to expect when I received the DVD. We popped it in the DVD player one night a couple weeks ago (yes, I am incredibly behind in my reviews right now!) when I was trying to get the boys to calm down before bed.

"Big Bird, Little Bird" features 13 of Hickman's "soothing songs for children aged newborn to five years, that are brought to life through bright, colorful computer animation." 

Kiel sat right down and watched about 75% of it and enjoyed it. Noah checked it out but quickly told me it was for little kids. Rich and I thought it was cute, but were a little confused (and amused) by the song "Goop's in It" that is about eye boogers. 


Overall it was nice music. Definitely the kind of music I would play for little kids during naps or at bedtime. 


The DVD also includes 14 short parenting tips, which I have not watched yet, so I really can't comment on them. In general I don't find "parenting tips" like that to be anything but annoying, so YMMV on that part.


Personally, I'd go out and get the CD that this DVD is based on before I'd buy the DVD. But, if you would like to win one I have one copy available to give away to one of my readers. You'll find entry requirements at the end of this post.


But before you do that, here is some more information about the "Big Bird, Little Bird."
