I don't say this lightly, but Gus Outdoors (Lizard Town) has beat out Baby Einstein as my son's favorite show.

I really enjoyed watching "Lizard Town"- the production values are very high, considering you have no crew! And Gus is such an engaging little boy. I definitely think you have something here. My son loved seeing the lizards, fish, etc. I kept having to pause & rewind so that he could see the wildlife again & again. Even the indoor scenes stimulate creativity.

I wanted to tell you how happily my 6 year-old grandson received his new copy of Gus Outdoors yesterday. It was the hit of his day, and we didn't see him again after he opened the package: he was too busy watching the show to pay attention to the grown-ups.
 
Thanks and have a great Christmas.

The kids are already quoting your latest Gus video, and Scott has checked on flights to the Bahamas! I think it was 3 times this past weekend; once already this morning that we've watched it! The videography is stunning and again, we enjoyed the music - if fits so well.

We watched Lizard Town and loved it. It was so fun to see all the places we have been in the Bahamas, and it has definitely given me a fever for getting back there! Also, Gus and Talus are adorable, and kudos to Sean Nightingale for an excellent video. He should market it to schools as a nature program!!!"

At age six, while most kids are just barely getting their training wheels taken off their bikes, Gus Nightingale is exploring the pristine islands of the Bahamas in search of lizards, iguanas and snakes. And while most kids his age are mastering the latest XBox games, Gus is plunging into crystal clear Caribbean water to snorkle with Southern Stingray and Squirrel fish. As you might have guessed, Gus is not your typical six-year-old.

Naturalist, adventurer and proud lizard hunter, young Mr. Nightingale is the host of his own children's educational nature series entitled, "Gus Outdoors". In the show, Gus embarks on different adventures and has encounters with all kinds of wildlife in a clever, fun, amusing and informative format that "delivers an entertaining, yet educational presentation that will give children a tremendous respect for nature."

In Episode 1, "Gull Island," the budding star takes the show to a beautiful island off the coast of Rhode Island where a whole new and exciting world is revealed to Gus as he visits with a rookery of nesting seabirds. In episode 2, "Lizard Town," he takes to the Bahamas to encounter a variety of the country's many amazing critters.

There are thousands of videos out there that teach as well as entertain kids, but none of them have the charismatic, smart and articulate Gus as the host. His vibrance and on screen enthusiasm makes it easy for children to follow along and take in all the fun.

If you've got young kids, check out Gus Outdoors. It just might be an instant hit with those fledgling adventurers, and it just might teach adults a thing or two, also.

So, as a six-year-old naturalist, adventurer and budding outdoor show star, Gus Nightingale is not like most kids his age. But it's clear that if he had his way, more kids would be like Gus.

We absolutely LOVE the DVD we have now. Our little boy Jack asks every day to watch Gus. Every time he jumps on a rock he yells "Gus Outdoors"!

The Gus Outdoors DVD arrived yesterday, and we watched it together before dinner. My son loved it, and immediately asked for the "Beach TV" when he woke up this morning. I enjoyed watching it with my son, and seeing his enjoyment. Plus the conversations he had with his father during dinner about the video showed that he really took it all in -- he was talking about gulls and using vocabulary that he didn't have before seeing this video! Thank you again!

There are thousands of videos on the market for children today that offer entertainment value, but in my opinion, few are truly educational and worth the time it takes children to watch them. That is not so with a great fledgling video series I was introduced to by my sister, when she gave, Gus Outdoors, the very first DVD ever produced by Sand Pictures, to my daughter as a present...  It was an instant hit and she watched it every day for a month! Now that my son is old enough to watch videos, Gus Outdoors is his favorite series as well.

THANK YOU for the Gus Outdoors movie! I watched it with my sister, her two daughters (3 and 6) and my mom, and we all thought it was terrific! My mom wanted to keep it to show some of her friends. All of us thought it was clever, fun, entertaining and educational, not to mention ADORABLE. Our dinner discussion with the kids revolved around some of the things we saw, what was in Gus' backpack, when we could row a boat somewhere, etc. All around - awesome!

The final film jury met yesterday for the Providence Children's Film Festival and overwhelmingly voted for Gus Outdoors to be a part of the film festival this year. Congratulations! Gus "floated everyone's boat" in many different ways. The quality of film production, the soundtrack and editing, Gus' narration and off the cuff comments were all great ingredients to this film.

Thanks so much for sending Gus Outdoors. It was absolutely ADORABLE and amazing quality. Gus is very charismatic and has a future in TV! My 5 year old daughter and i watched it and she was mesmerized!  Have you been able to find a way to get it to PBS kids?  The production quality is great and I could see it on PBS.

We wanted to thank you for the copies of Gull Island, we absolutely love it and have watched it twice already.  Our daughter is mesmerized with seagulls so she was in heaven to say the least. We are looking forward to Lizard Town more than you can imagine!

That Video is wonderful, I sat there with my 10 year old daughter and her 8 year old cousin and watched it.  You really should take the idea of Gus Outdoors to PBS or Discovery.

Great job! Unbelievable footage of the chicks hatching! I know it took a lot of work on everyone's part, but it shows! Keep up the good work!
