As a special educator, I found this to be an excellent way of preparing my high school disabled students for our trip to the zoo. The pace, graphics and overall presentation was excellent and well-suited for any special ed class or elementary class. I thought the video was very comprehensive as it not only showed what a day would be like going to the zoo, but also showed "behind the scenes activities". The special bonus was especially fun for all of us. Truly an exceptional video for young students and those with special needs.

We first got this DVD with a metal space shuttle attached when my oldest son was turning three. It quickly became his favorite DVD as he was enthralled with space and everything about the shuttle program. We were traveling for our jobs a lot back then, and somehow we left it somewhere. Yes, of course we ordered another copy! The music is great. The details are explicit but on a level that children can understand. The real footage, the interviews with astronauts, the pieces about space camp... It all adds up to a super great DVD that I would HIGHLY recommend to any child that is interested in NASA, space, aeronautics, the (former) shuttle program or any combination. You won't regret it. [P.S. This same son is 5 1/2 now, and we watched it again today!]

This video took my 3 and a half year old from a "trains-only" boy into the space age. While it would seem that much of the material is too technical for him, he loves picking up whatever can every time he watches it. He's probably watched the library loan video 20 times, so we're sure to buy it to have a favorite ready at any time. It's educational and yet engaging enough that my other children and even other adults are sure to learn plenty, even if it's a repeated viewing.
I'm a stickler for videos that are fun or educational; this one's both!
