WordWorld: Castles In The Sea

Recommend for all parents

This is a cute dvd for kids. My kids at daycare love this show and I got this one to play at Halloween. Dvd was in good shape.

This DVD contains two episodes of Word World that are seperated with a song about making a monster. Both episodes are great; and I love that they both are Halloween episodes. Most DVD's like this have one Halloween and then just a second episode that might vaguely take place in the fall. Both of these are actual Halloween episodes.However, on the DVD, when you hit "Play" the first episode plays, then the song, then the second episode, then commercials for other DVD's start to play. The commercials seem, if you're not playing close attention, like kids' songs. But they are actually commercials for other DVD's. I don't like that I have to spring up the moment the second show is over if I don't want my child exposed to countless advertisements. That's the reason I didn't give it five stars.The episodes, though, are great and I would recommend this to a friend.

I really adore this entire series, which we discovered on public TV while visiting the United States with our kids. Most of my previous "nostalgia" purchases (eg, Sesame Street) sadly tended to enchant me more than the kids, but this one seems to be more in tune with the groove of the modern toddler and as a parent I see that it has been a good support for vocabulary and spelling. Also, I love the Klezmer-inspired theme music. When the disc is over and you have that playing in the background for ten minutes until you can get around to turning off the darn thing, this is an important criteria.

My son is 1 1/2 years old and he adores this show (and so do I actually). This is the best kid's television show that I've seen so far. Each character (dog, ant, duck, pig, sheep, etc) is made up of the letters that spell it. Each show is about 15 minutes long - just the perfect length to keep the smaller kids engaged. My son loves the "Build a Word" portion that they do in each episode. We are in the beginning stages of talking now, and this is definitely another conversation piece for that. For the older kids it probably helps with spelling. What a great show! I definitely recommend! (another good one is Welcome to Word World)

My little girl has been watching wordworld since she was 11 months and enjoys it very much! She is 14 months now and she laughs, dances and trys to say words from the dvds. I would recommend wordworld to any child as it sounds out words and encourages children to interact. I have about 8 dvds and she loves them all.I was one of those moms that my child would not watch tv, but when you are a working mom, these dvds come in handy while you are doing your house work. They are also getting an education at the same time.Love, Love, Love WordWorld!!! Will continue to order them and will continue to order from this seller!

My kids love WordWorld and, unfortunately, our local PBS station recently stopped carrying it. I went online to find some DVD's and decided on this one to start (I purchased this shortly before Halloween).The kids loved it and, believe me, we watched it almost constantly. However, keep in mind that this is just 2 episodes of WordWorld...it is nothing different from what would have been shown on TV.But, hey, it kept my kids entertained while I made dinner and that's a win in my book.

My daughter loves WordWorld and I cannot get over how quickly she picks up on the sounds and spellings after watching these episodes. The "building" of words by putting the letters together provides a great way to memorize the words. The characters are adorable and the working of the sounds and word families into the storyline is so natural and creative all at once. The only thing that can bother me (and I am probably being too picky) is when the characters face the reverse direction and the spelling looks flipped (this isn't often & hasn't seemed to affect her learning of the words).

Kids loved it.

Adorable movie, the kids watched it many times!

les DVD sont très ludiques. le jeu utilise les différentes mémoires, superbes dessins, too cool! dis ma fillette qui répète volontiers le smots et les écrits. c'est entrainant à plusieurs enfants aussi.

リージョンフリーのDVDデッキがないと見れませんが、word worldは画像もきれいで、出てくるキャラクターや物が単語をつなげて出来ているので、見ながら自然に簡単な単語も覚えれる優れものだと思います。ユーモアもあるので、息子も私も笑いながら見ています。息子pigがお気に入りです。このＤＶＤのお話は、1.A Kooky Spooky Halloween2.Sheep's Halloween Costumeの2話で、時間は30分です。リージョンコードフリーのＤＶＤデッキは安いもので3000円台で探せはあるので、海外の幼児が見ている番組を見せたい方にはおすすめです。word worldは㏄マーク(クローズドキャプション）コードは書いてありませんが、㏄デコーダーをお持ちの方はそれも接続すれば、絵が3分の1近く隠れてしまいますが、字幕も出てきますよ。
