TDmonthly Review:
What Is It?
This video series centers on the home and daily routines of babies and children through age 9. Kids meet Fuerte, the adorable Chihuahua, and his amigo Fuego, a chili pepper. The video also stars the Fiesta Friends Kids, bright graphics, fun musical scenes and unique toys. “Que Duermas bien — Sweet Dreams” centers on the bedtime routine.
What We Thought
Cute kids and puppets abound in this colorful instructional DVD. Children learn to sing familiar songs, such as “Are You Sleeping?” in Spanish. The video also teaches them key phrases through repetition. Later in the video, they build on their skills by asking and answering simple questions.
Why They’ll Want It
Parents can use this video to gently introduce their kids to a new language. Kids will love the silly puppets and will also have fun learning new words and commands along with the other kids on the video. Since the Fiesta Friends Kids are themselves at different levels of learning Spanish, children won’t feel intimidated if they can’t pronounce all the words exactly right the first time. They’ll also want to replay the DVD again and again — thereby strengthening their skills — to hear their favorite songs and to watch Fuerte and Fuego create mischief in two languages.
