Animal Planet: Growing Up Arctic - Season 1

It great dvd learning about animals

I have always been an animal lover, and through Animal Planet's "Growing Up" series, I have been so thoroughly inspired, that I am now on a path to leave my hum-drum job and work directly with animals. This well-priced DVD includes 4 different shows. The show with Nereus, the walrus, is such a wonderful story, that it is not difficult to become emotional as a viewer. The Growing Up series also has another wonderful DVD collection called Growing Up Wildcats. This DVD includes Lions, Tigers, a Black Leopard, and Cheetahs (my absolute favourite!!!). If you have children who are interested in animals - or even if you are an adult who admires God's creatures, this is a very educational set of DVD's that everyone should own. There are many other Animal Planet "Growing Up" episodes that are only available for viewing on their cable channel - PLEASE take the time to view them all. Hopefully, Animal Planet will release the other wonderful Growing Up episodes on DVD soon!

My students absolutely loved this dvd. It has 4 stories that take you through the rehabilitation of an Arctic animal. The four stories are Polar Bear, Walrus, Seal, and Penguin. My students were so engaged and learned so much. I highly recommend this dvd. I also ordered Growing Up Safari and can't wait for my students to watch it later in the year.

I was glad to find this DVD. I love to buy Animal Planet programming so that my kids don't have to be subjected to commercials. This DVD is a great way for kids to see these arctic animals up close. My kids have watched these episodes repeatedly and they are captivated by each story.

Anyone who has ever loved a pet, or "ooo-ed" and "ahh-ed" at a cute puppy or kitten, will fall in love with the "Growing Up..." series from animal planet. Watching Nereus the orphaned Walrus cuddle up with his caretaker is reason enough to pay the $10-15 required to enjoy this video.Also, including the "bonus" episode, "Growing Up Penguin," the running time is more like 168 minutes, instead of 126. This makes your investment even more worthwhile!

I ordered this, and when I opened it, there was no CD!!! :( This is unacceptable for a paying customer in my opinion

The cutest most heartwarming animal documentary I have ever seen. I especially love the baby walrus but they are all good. Growing Up Penguin, one of the episodes, was a sweet surprise. No one would be disappointed in buying this DVD.

just what I needed for my class room students loved it couldn't wait to see how it ended. looking for more

Kids enjoyed it
