Ever wonder what programs capture the imaginations of children in other countries? In Australia, it's The Wiggles -- Murray, Anthony, Greg, and Jeff -- whose unique brand of interactive musical high jinks is on display here in Yummy Yummy. This irresistibly upbeat tape collects 14 songs, most of them original, that emphasize tongue-teasing wordplay. There are lots of coordination-testing hand games and sing-along, dance-along, wiggle-along fun with rhythms ranging from rockabilly to swing. The recommended audience is children five and under, although with a caveat: One song features Wiggles look-alike puppets that may even creep out adults. Donald Liebenson

Children will get to know the Wiggles, Australia's music sensation, with this video that has the children's band teaching kids some popular dances. Kids will have fun dancing and singing along with Wiggles' vocalist Greg Page, guitarist Murray Cook, keyboardist and accordion player Jeff Fatt, and guitarist Anthony Field. In addition to the band members, some puppets in costume tag along for the musical fun and education, including Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Henry the Octopus, and Wags the Dog. Some of the songs the Wiggles perform include "Hot Potato," "Pufferbillies," "The Monkey Dance," "Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes," "I Am a Dancer," and "Fruit Salad," in addition to "Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy" and "Can You Point Your Finger and Do the Twist." This video is aimed at children ages one to eight. ~ Cecilia Cygnar, All Movie Guide
