Kids Go! [With DVD]

by They Might Be Giants

Once upon a time there were two sleepy kids. Then they heard a distant sound, a beat that got louder and louder. They had to move their feet. They got up off the couch and started to move their legs.... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Customer Reviews

Enjoyable and fun!

Great book for younger children. This is a book of activity based content. As always, TMBG delivers - you will not be disappointed (and nether will the children).

Great for grandma too!

Bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter as she loves her They Might Be Giants DVD's. This was well worth it, she loves jumping to the music and taking "dance breaks". She especially likes grandma to get up off the lazy couch and "essersize" with her!

Another successful TMBG purchase!

This has become the GO to bedtime story for the kids (2 and 4) - they love it! The book is very simple and repetitive (in a good way for them). The DVD is short and the song matches the words in the book. They love the song and I try to match the tune when I read the book to them. The DVD video will play over and over in a loop so it is hard to stop it ("just one more time mommy!") without dissappointing them. There really is not much to the DVD; just the single song. Very happy with the purchase though as I have been with every TMBGs kids album.

Great fun, TMBG-style

There isn't as much to this package as there was to Bed, Bed, Bed, I admit -- just one book and one DVD, featuring one song with an animated video. But it's very charming. The song is, of course, ridiculously catchy and fun, and the book illustrates the lyrics in a wonderfully dynamic way, almost bringing the DVD to life on the pages. The drawings by Pascal Campion have a lively looseness that reminds me of the style of Roy McKie, one of my favorite children's illustrators. And of course, the lyrics are brilliant; we would expect no less of the two Johns. If you've never exposed your child to the joys of TMBG, I would start with Here Come the ABCs or Here Come The 123s. If your kids are already fans, this will be a great addition to your collection. But with lyrics like "If you're still not standing up, then get up now and go, go, go, GO, GO!", make sure you don't read it at bedtime!
