Each segment in the collection presents something new to the child. There are animals, numbers, colors and signs, with each segment presenting the alphabet for reenforcement. The children are precious and darling! I believe the producers were wise in keeping each segment very short, in light of the findings recently published by the American Pediatric Association, in which they state that very young children should not be viewing TV. I can recommend these as a resource, as long a parent would heed the advice recently given, and only use one short segment at a time.
