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

My kids love to watch Lizard Town! They
are ages 6, 3.5 and 2.5...so its great for them to see this great
paradise and the narration by your son makes it very interesting for
them ....well done!!

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.

We
all thoroughly enjoyed watching Lizard Town! Amazing photography and
one adorable host! Loved the scene with the coconut milk!! Congrats on
a great film!
-Kim M. Dec. 27,2010 New Hampshire---------------------------------------------- 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"!
-Liz G. Colorado ----------------------------------------------
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!
-Crystal D. Massachusetts ----------------------------------------------
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!
- Meghan S. Rhode Island ----------------------------------------------
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.
- Eric B. Providence Childrens Film Festival ----------------------------------------------
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.
John D. Massachusetts ---------------------------------------------- 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!
Sereyna C. California ---------------------------------------------- We
watched Gus Outdoors on Sunday night and really loved it. I hope you
continue to make a lot of episodes because it's a great show----you
really got some nice footage---the chicks hatching were great!!! Our
son really loved it----he kept yelling and pointing at the TV.
-Priscilla N. Vermont ---------------------------------------------- This is GREAT!!!When is Discovery kids picking this up?!!!
- Eden P. Pennsylvania ---------------------------------------------- We LOVE Gus Outdoors! We are learning so much! Thank you! WE WANT MORE!!
- Jean B. New York City ---------------------------------------------- I'm a huge Gus Outdoors fan! Can't wait for the next adventure - now that summer is here. I'm sure there will be more.
