Customer Review: Very rapid pace
My 3-year old young son loves monkeys, so I thought this would be good. We’ve only watched it one time. The problem is that it is too fast paced. Rather than showing video of monkeys in their habitat and observing their behavior, it switches from shot to shot too fast, while trying to be funny. You never see monkeys behaving like monkeys. It almost makes me dizzy watching it. It might be better for older kids.

Founding Father’s Intention & Purpose of the *Right to Bare Arms* In their own words, the Framers saw the “right of the people to keep and bear arms” so important that they made it second in our Bill of Rights. In a nation governed by the people themselves, the possession of arms to defend their nation against usurpers within and without was deemed absolutely necessary. This right is protected by the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. The Second Amendment wasn’t written into our Bill of Rights so that we could go duck or deer hunting.The Second Amendment was given to us as protection against tyranny by the federal government and the Congress of the United States
