Summary: I'd give it 10 stars if I could!!
Review: Hooray for you for finding this gem video in a sea of commercialism. My kids and I are a big fan of many of the famous groups, but this little video is definitely the bomb-diggity! I'm so glad that I decided to try this video because it turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be and even better, my kids LOVE it!!! It's simple and very engaging. My kids love watching it again and again. They participate in the song and dance activities as if they are part of the group of kids in the video. The alphabet, color, numbers, and shapes are all covered in a totally engaging format. This video will get your kids singing and dancing, and more importantly, LISTENING to the instructions of what to do when as they follow the lead of the little kids on the video. For instance, (kids are wearing different colored shirts) "Yellow stand up and walk around red, blue stand up and hop on one foot..." So not only does your child learn colors (numbers, shapes, or the alphabet), they learn to listen to directions, and then are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge to participate in coordinated activites.

Summary: Stick to "Baby Songs I"
Review: I bought this video because my 18 month old daughter enjoys the first "Baby Songs" video so much. This one was a real disappointment. The songs are neither catchy nor entertaining. I doubt it will get nearly as much viewing at our house as the other video has.

Summary: It grows on you.
Review: I didn't like it as much as Baby Songs but I gave my daughter (14 months) 2 bells with handles that she uses during the second song ("Tap your sticks in the air with a 1,2,3") She plays along and now it's her favorite video.

Summary: A disappointment!
Review: I ordered this video for my daughter, age 2, after she showed an interest in the alphabet and numbers. The fact that this was a Parent's Choice led me to believe that it would be the perfect educational video. Was I wrong! The 2 songs that deal with the ABC's go by so fast that my daughter couldn't keep up. Don't even expect that this video will help you child learn numbers. The first counting song only repeated "1-2-3" over and over and the second just showed a little girl randomly counting to 5, 6, 7, and 8. The songs didn't even keep my daughters interest. All the video contains are songs that are boring to a 2 year old and seem like they would be trivial to a 5 year old.

Summary: Boring
Review: I purchased this video for my daughter, 18 months, hoping she would learn her ABC's and 123 but this video could not catch her attention at all. She was really bored and wanted to watch something else.

Summary: Absolutely love it
Review: My 20 months old daughter loves it. She is dancing with the songs. Out of 20 DVD she has, she always pick this one and put it in the DVD player herself. After 1 month, she has scratch this DVD badly because she won't let us put it in the DVD player. We have to go buy another one to replace it.

Summary: One of Hap Palmer's best
Review: My just-turned-two year old daughter and I love this video. We also own three other Baby Songs Videos--the original, "Baby Animals," and "Baby's Busy Day"--and we enjoy this one more than any except possibly "Baby's Busy Day." When "Tap Your Sticks" plays, my daughter runs around to find her plastic spoons and do what the kids do--e.g., tap them on the floor, in the air, etc. She always wants to hear "Tap Your Sticks" more than once. I especially like this song plus the jazzy "Betty Beep" (my favorite Hap Palmer song), "Jig Along Shapes," and "We're On Our Way." The tunes are catchy, the lyrics are creative, and the kids are natural. All in all, "Baby Songs ABC, 123, Colors and Shapes" is a great buy.

Summary: Catchy, interactive, and fun

Summary: Simple but apparently very entertaining!
Review: My mom got this for my 21 month old daughter and this is by far one of her favorites. It definitly is from the eighties, judging by the kids' clothes but she doesn't seem to care how corny the kids look. For some reason, my daughter has always been more interested in videos with the "real" kids rather than cartoons or puppets and this one features lots of little kids, many interacting with the families and friends.

The songs are very catching and mostly mellow so it's a good dvd to put in before bath and bed. Beanbag Alphabet Rag had my daughter up and mimicing the kids pointing out body parts. Betty Boop will quite possibly make an adult's ears bleed but she seems transfixed throughout it.

Yes, the people in this dvd are very goofy and my husband and I just laugh at them but it is by far a favorite of Brynn's!
