Midwest Book Review says of Organa's series: "A wonderful, family-friendly set for both home viewing and children's libraries." 

Nelly and Caesar is recommended for children ages 2-5, available for $19.95 per volume. 

What we thought: I like finding new videos like this. They are culturally stimulating for young children. It's great for them to learn about other areas and countries and see how things work there. And the videos are well made and fun for young children to view. I'm always looking for new things to expose my young child to that is age appropriate and these DVDs fit that well.

Where to buy: The new title Nelly and Caesar Volume 1 and Nelly and Caesar Volume 2 are available from Organa.com and through Amazon.
