In this video your baby is introduced to simple words that are easy to repeat, such as one syllable animal names and different types of objects. Each word is introduced in its own creative sequence of music, sounds, shapes, and color. The word "plane" is introduced with images of the sky, upbeat music, and several pictures of toy planes to help associate the word with the correct object. A similar sequence is used for dogs, cats, and horses. The repetitive images will help your baby identify the object and the word together. Dookie Duck and Dottie Duck partake in several interactive segments that further develop each word's visual and sound.

As your baby watches this video they may try to repeat the sounds they hear or point at the different objects on screen. You can join in by making simple games from the images and by saying different words. This type of interactive viewing can help to create a special space for early learning so that your child will look forward to participating in similar activities.

When I watched this video with baby Willa she often made chirping sounds of excitement in response to the different images on the screen. I was unsure exactly what she was trying to communicate, but I could sure tell she was enjoying herself. She would laugh and clap when I pointed things out on the screen. We watched the video several times and each time she appeared to be more engaged. We had a lot of fun together that day.

Baby Prodigy Company founder, Barbara Candiano-Marcus created this video because she was trying to find a solution for her young daughter's colic. However, after much research, she decided that what she really wanted to do was help parents raise smarter, happier children.

The video shows parents fun activities they can engage in to help stimulate their child's learning. The characters, Dookie and Dottie Duck entertain children using everyday objects found in any household.

Parents, grandparents and caregivers should interact with the child while he or she is watching the program. Since the activities are easily replicated, parents can participate while the video is being played.

She is also a parenting expert and regularly appears on television and radio programs where she discusses parenting issues. In the past, she has produced children's programming. The music on this video is specially orchestrated classical music by Emmy award-winning composer, Neil Argo.
