Summary: It Still Touches My Young Heart
Review: Hi. My name is Darcy
My mother purchased "Baby Songs" for me in 1988 when I was two years old. We brought it when I was crying in the Albertson's in Fresno, CA. I just looved the cover, and I couldn't let go of it, so we brought it.
Once we got home, I handed it to mom, and she put it in the VCR, and I loved it.
It teaches you about sharing, getting things washed in the washing machine, and how to "Shout and Whisiper" (I love you!)
It's like yesterday, I was threee again... Shout and whisper, that's what we do/ shout and whisper I love you /Shout! I love you!/Whisper I love you"!
Perhaps the song that still forver touches my heart is with the puppet, in bed, flying over the moon. He sings
"I rest until the birdie sings/ goodbye to the golden moon"...
I had a dream when I was little that I was doing that, along with Bert and Ernie :-)
I also like the "Don't Take my Blankie Away" song. That's still my number one joint!
Anyways, I STRONGLY reccomend this video, even if it is seventeen years old. It will forever stay with them, like it did with me! And I'm eighteen now!

Summary: Baby Songs
Review: (...)When my sisters were younger, this video was a big help. It taught them lots of stuff such as how to get dressed and how to use the potty. At the age of 3.5, they stopped watching this video because then they learned how to do all of this stuff. Then at the age of 4.5, we sold this video to a woman that needed it for her kids. (...)

Summary: Baby Songs are a hit!
Review: A friend of mine passed on 3 volumes of baby songs to me when I was pregnant. I began playing the videos for my daughter when she was about 4 months old. She was and still is (at 8 months) mesmerized by the videos. She will sit for the entire 30 minute viewing session. In addition, when I sing the songs to her, she immediately calms down. There is nothing else on TV that holds my daughter's attention. I have tried a number of other videos, but for some reason the Baby Songs videos are her only interest. Hap Palmer's use of real people combined with appropriate song make his Baby Songs video a hit!

Summary: Very comforting intro to music and people interactions
Review: As a grandmother, I have known numerous families who have utilized this video. Infants as young as three months respond to it and can be quieted by it. We found that my grandson could be soothed by one of us singing the songs to him in the car when he was fussy. Children love consistancy and they find it in this video and as they grow, can relate to the "lessons" shown as well.

Summary: An instant "tool" for relaxing a fussy baby.
Review: Better than a baby swing! My seven month old is absolutely absorbed in it! He watches it repeatedly. The only thing I regret about it is the inconvenience of having to rewind it again and again for him to watch over and over. I highly recommend it! And the songs are cute too!

Summary: The most played video in our collection!
Review: For more than 5 years, this video has been the number one choice for my boys, now age 5 and 3. Children readily identify with the lyrics and the delightful children in the video as Hap Palmer touches on many aspects of a child's world, from toilet training to being left at daycare or grandma's house. I've recommended this video (and other Hap Palmer videos and music tapes) to other parents and teachers who constantly thank me for introducing this talented and joyful performer into their lives. I highly recommend any of Hap Palmer's videos and CDs, and am confident that you and your children will not be disappointed.

Summary: DAYCARE VIDEOS
Review: I AM AN ASSISTANT AT A DAYCARE CENTER ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE. I WATCH 1 YEAR OLDS EVERY DAY IN THE AFTERNOON. WHENEVER I TURN ON BABY SONGS THE KIDS JUST STARE AT THE TELEVISION. THE SONGS ARE GREAT AND THE KIDS JUST LOVE SEEING THE REAL CHILDREN PLAYING AND LAUGHING. I SOMETIMES FIND MYSELF WATCHING IT WITH JOY AND WHEN IM NOT WORKING IT SEEMS AS IF I AM SINGING THE SONGS ALL THE TIME. I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN UP TO 4.

Summary: What a great find!
Review: I bought this video on sale (...)thinking that if my son did not like it, it was not a big waste of money. He now watches it at least once a day. We also have the Baby Songs, Baby's Busy Day which he also watches at least once a day. Now normally I would not let him watch that much t.v. but our 3 year old son has a severe language delay and since he started watching these videos he has been singing along, using more words and is communicating much better. They are not annoying at all and are in a nice laid back format. The music would be great in the car.

Summary: I couldn't stand it anymore
Review: I bought this video on the advice of a friend (I see it's now on DVD). My son loved it (addicted to it, even)! But I absolutely could not stand it. For one thing, it has a lot of kids in it, but not many babies--so, why is it called Baby Songs? I especially despised the song with the alien in the tub. I finally sold it at a garage sale to some other poor, unsuspecting mother. At least with the DVD, you can skip the really bad songs. The good ones seem to be at the end. My favorite is "So Big." But I recommend buying the Baby Einstein series instead. The music is better, and my son loves them just as much.

Summary: My daughter loves this!
Review: I recieved this as a baby shower gift from a friend who said her daughter just loved it. I thought it was a little cheesy because the look is so dated - straight out of the 80's. BUT my 15 month old daughter LOVES this video - she wants to watch it every day. She is transfixed when it is on - she just loves to watch the other children in it. It seems to be shot from a child's ponit of view, so she can relate to it. The songs are all very happy and tell about the things in a young child's life - I like them a lot. I don't like her to see much TV, but I feel good about her watching this.
