Reviewed by Nicole Jesse, Librarian I, West Seneca Public LibraryThis film is composed of songs paired with images of nature. The images in the video are beautiful and display nature in its many different forms. All the images come from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and their animals. This is however not mentioned in the music videos.
The songs are not informative or beneficial in a learning environment. They are repetitive and do not explain any terms that are being used. The singer can also be difficult to understand at times. This would be a good video for brief entertainment but does not suit educational needs of a science class.
