This DVD, book, and CD set brings new meaning to the words 'fun' and 'learning'. The DVD, 'Crazy Adventures with Harry and Susy,' combines live action with animation as our two heroes magically transport themselves from place to place in pursuit of that rascally rodent, Raton Ramon. The performances are top notch and as entertaining as any children's show we've ever seen. Susy speaks Spanish throughout, while Harry often repeats her words before quickly puzzling out the English translation. This repetition and translation ping-ponging back and forth is both natural and extremely effective in reinforcing the words' meaning. Each scene includes a song by Susy, the lyrics incorporating many of the words from previous dialogue. The set's CD includes the songs, while their lyrics, along with English translation and colorful illustrations, can be found in the book. Even a single viewing of the DVD will leave your child retaining and correctly using Spanish words and phrases.
