I, too, in wanting my kid to excel, bought every educational DVD on the planet (all the Baby Einstein, Little Einstein, Sesame Street, Leap Frog, Electric Company, and many more)and found this one to be the most repulsive. The music is really loud and mundane, the narrating voice is monotone, and the graphics are simple. My son, who is in kindergarten, prefers to look at a clock to learn to tell time. I prefer it, too. Waste of time and money.

This DVD is an excellent learning tool for little minds. My kids are fully absorbed with it every time we turn it on. They are soon rocking and singing out the numbers and the times along with the characters. Well worth the purchase.

My 5 year old is watching "Telling Time" right now so I thought I might as well review it.

I bought "Telling Time" a few years back because I thought it might not be available later. When I was a kid I had a lot of trouble learning how to read the clock. I remember my teacher making me stay in class instead of going outside for recess because I was "slow" at acquiring this new skill. Fearing my daughter might have to miss recess too I wanted to help her all I could.

I've watched it now a number of times and I do like the content of it. It covers the material pretty well. I think if my daughter chooses to watch this often it could be very helpful along with mom's and her school's help.

I have a problem with the presentation. "Telling Time" runs at an incredibly fast pace and I wonder why. What's the hurry? It reminds me of when I was a kid watching "Sesame Street." It has the same quick cuts which was admittedly very entertaining and attention grabbing.

Are the Rock 'N Learn producers stuck back in the early 1970s? If you watch "Sesame Street" today you will find the pace much slower. There is a reason for this--the continual fast pace and quick cuts proved not to be good for children's brains and ability to concentrate when they needed to slow down. Learning usually involves more that just being entertained--it takes work. I wonder if the the producers of this DVD may not be keeping up with the scientific research regarding brain development and what kids need when they are learning a new skill. While their intentions may have been good this DVD would have been much better at a slower pace.

I, also, like another reviewer, find the noise (and the visuals) of the show hard to take. It's rather jarring but I have to admit it certainly keeps my daughter's attention and since we do have it I honestly will most likely encourage her to watch it. After all...I don't want her to miss recess!

My kids love this video. I bought it for my [...] to reinforce telling time she was learning in school. My 3 year loved the video and begs to watch it. He actually learned how to tell time by watching this video. Even my one year old loved it!

My second grade students love this DVD. It teaches them in a fun and new way besides the traditional worksheet. I think all teachers should use Rock N Learn to enhance their classroom curriculum.
