Baby Shakespeare

Summary: Outstanding!!
Review: While my husband and I are a little apprehensive about exposing our 11-month-old to too much TV, we are realists and understand that some TV and video-watching can be fun (and necessary if we really want to accomplish anything around the house!) We have several of the Baby Einstein DVDs and enjoy most of them, but this one is far and away our son's favorite. He adores "Bard" the dragon and giggles whenever he is onscreen. He also really enjoys the young children singing the "Alphabet Song" and bounces and "dances" with the music. We love the selection of poetry and its use in introducing little ones to basic language. While no two children will glean the same information from any toy, book or video, this video is lots of fun and presents learning in such a way that toddlers will love it (it's fun for grown-ups, too!)

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: There is a lot of hype about the baby einstein products and I absolutely love the books and cd's but the dvd's are just okay. My daughter does watch them but they are not the ones that she requests. However I really do like the concert hall on this one, but i could have just saved [money] and bought the cd for the same effect. Still not a bad buy though.

Review: i originally bought this video 'cause my kids love the baby Einstein stuff and I thought this would be similar. It wasn't. I thought the video had some good educational info, but it failed in the graphics department. My 3 year old had a VERY TOUGH time keeping his attention focused on the video. ...

Summary: Meets Daughter's Approval!
Review: Our two year old has been watching the Baby Einstein videos since 3 months old and has not grown tired of them, yet. This was a recent purchase, as this was the one we didn't have, yet. Our daughter loves it! She's actually talking more and saying what's on the screen in addition to just watching it. I've never heard her talk so much. It's great! One of her favorites is Baby Van Gogh, but I think she likes this one better. Of course, Baby Beethoven and Baby Newton are high on the list. And we just got Baby Neptune: what a cute one! A must have! All of them are great fun! Great learning tools!

Review: My son laughs hysterically while watching this dvd. I think this may be his favorite in the Baby Einstein collection. This is very educational- it goes through the alphabet and various words. The major plus to this video is how much my son LOVES it!

Summary: Another triumph !
Review: I can't say enough about the Baby Einstein series ! Our baby loves each one !! Just hearing the start of the music and seeing the little pull toy catepillar crawl across the screen is enough to get my little one jumping up and down and excited to see HIS movie !! Even though this is more talking and prose, it still keeps the baby's attention. The bright colors and bold images captivate and entertain. The music is nice..each DVD even has the feature of allowing you to play just the music without the video....great to help lull a fussy baby off to sleep ! We love them and so will you !

Summary: My favorite, too!!!
Review: I love this video best of all of them. The poems take me all the way back to when I was in school in various literature classes. My daughter loves the action on the screen, and I do believe that Bard (the poetic dragon) is her absolute favorite. The video series is captivating -- so many times I've put it on for her, and wound up watching all of it myself. Even if you are one of those parents who shun TV watching, you can't help but to love this type of video for your children. Hats off to Julie Clark!

Summary: love these videos!
Review: I own 3 baby einstein videos now and I have no complaints about any of them. My 14 m/o loves to watch them over and over. This is our newest one and she watched it 3 times in a row! It really keeps her occupied, unlike other videos like 'baby's first video' and 'So Smart Sights and Sounds'. Baby Einstein is the way to go!

Summary: EXCELLENT SERIES
Review: the baby einstein series is awesome. most children and babies i have seen simply veg out in front of the television while watching--this is the most captivating and interactive video i have seen. our son giggled just as much at some of the scenes as he did when we tickled him! plus, it's not super annoying for adults. i noticed that bard has been reborn as a gecko--wonder why the change...anyways--our son has been watching all the videos and reading all the books from the beginning, and he loves them. all of the products are great!
