Summary: A blessing to watch
Review: I was shocked to read the other reviews for this series of dvds. I borrowed this one from our library and I can't wait to purchase it. I have three children, ages 6, 3, and 2 and all three enjoyed it very much. It is a combination of Baby Einstien and Cedarmont Kids. The songs are the perfect mix of hymns, choruses, and preschool songs and are well sung. The dvd mixes animation, live action children, and shots of toys and puppets for a nice diversity. Several times between songs there is a prayer said or a interjection about God. I found it very peaceful to watch and felt it really drew my kids into God's presence. I prefered it over the Praise Baby dvd collection. A real blessing to watch!!

Review: I'm very glad I did not spend my money on this DVD. I had heard of it, then checked it out from the library. This movie was not well made. It absolutely could not hold the attention of my 1 year old. He loves his Baby Einstein movie & I hoped this DVD would be on par with that, but it is not. They do not seem to have a grasp on what kind of images will hold the attention of babies. There is one song where the whole song just shows a little girl kneeling next to a teddy bear, and she just picks and pulls at the bear the whole time. Unbelievable. The whole thing was painful for me to watch, and my 1 yr. old found better things to do. An older child might sit still for this (my 6 year old did watch it through, but she did not ask to see it again after that). It's a great concept, but they need to go back to the drawing board.
