Title: Hm.... Not sure about this one.
Product review: I lived in Japan for several years, and speak Japanese. My toddler son is also learning Japanese and I thought this would be a good introduction for him to understand the concept of the country called Japan. It was very skimpy on cultural education. I had hoped the wonders or customs of Japan would be highlighted. Instead, Big Bird gets lost and meets a sad woman who ends up being the bamboo princess. It is all quite subtle and lost on most children, I would guess. Most of the songs are English, not Japanese.I was quite disappointed with this video! On a positive note, I was surprised to see that my 2 year old son seemed to be interested in it. We'll see if it can hold his interest the 2nd time through.... I'm doubtful. I know Sesame Street can do better highlighting a culture!!
