Take your little one on a journey with Dookie Duck, a lovable and funny duck puppet in this adorable video. You child will be enthralled as he or she travels with Dookie on his exploration of visually stimulating experiences that include lots of motion, bright colors and entertaining sounds.
In this video your baby will follow Dookie Duck on a dream-like learning adventure. Dookie dreams about shapes, colors, and sounds. Each dream sequence has some valuable information that can be easily absorbed by your baby over time. He or she will learn the difference between liquid and solid, and how to distinguish between different shapes. The music accompanying each sequence is slow and gentle, helping to further capture your baby's attention. The objects used are familiar and the dialogue is minimal.
As you watch this video with your child you may notice that they will point out familiar objects. Joining in and participating with them will help keep the video interesting, and will further engage your child. The music is gentle, the activities are simple, and the ability to watch or interact is easy. You can add in some of your own sound effects, or just let the video do all the "talking" for you.
When I watched this video with Baby Willa, I noticed that she enjoyed walking laps around the coffee table while she watched. I encouraged her to look at the screen and each time she would pay attention for longer periods. I discovered the more I interacted with her and the video, the more interested she became. She would make cheerful, little sing-song sounds of approval.

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.
Candiano-Marcus is the author of the parenting book Baby Prodigy: A Guide to Raising a Smarter, Happier Baby, which is published by Random House. 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.
