3 Stars. Recommended. "Combining film clips and photos, appropriate sound effects, and guidance from a young narrator, Young Minds: Numbers & Counting is designed to help youngsters learn numbers and basic math skills. Drawing on a wide range of examples - including a frog, helicopters, fruits, flowers, an elk family, eggs and footprints - the program teaches viewers about the first 10 numbers, while also serving up helpful descriptions that offer information about topics ranging from animal noises to vehicle colors ("Those firetrucks are red ......."). Backed by classical soundtrack featuring Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and others. Bonus features include puzzles and games." - Video Librarian.
