Summary: We love it!
Review: I bought this video for one of my newborn grandchildren and found that even the older siblings love it. As they walk past they are mesmorized and end up sitting to the end. I now buy it as a baby gift, so others will enjoy it as much as we do.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't fool yourself...
Review: ...into thinking that this video is somehow "good" for you child. The Mozart effect research was done with children playing in day care as the music played in the background, not with them staring into a TV and watching a disembodied hand play with toys to poorly performed snippets of Mozart's music. If your child enjoys this video and you get a chance to rest--great. But if you want to do something "good" for your child, buy a book from Amazon.com and read it to him or her.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Start the collection with this one.
Review: Our son got this video last Christmas - he was 4 mos. old - and we were amazed to discover that he loved it. This video still holds his attention, and the soundtrack is nice because it's not annoying. Of all the Baby Einstein vids - this is the 1st one you should get.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for Babys with Colic
Review: This has been a great aid for us while dealing with colic. I baught this for my son when he was about 4 weeks old,at first he really had no interest in it. We played it again for him at about 6 weeks old and he watched it all the way through. Now it is one of his daily activities. There are some scenes he's not crazy about but they change just fast enough to recapture his attention. The length of time is just enough to give you a break and sometimes our son is so soothed by the classical music he falls to sleep. We plan on useing the language lab when he's a bit older.This has been so entertaining for him that we are already planning to buy more from this series.This really is a great product and wonderful education tool.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: May be a bit much for your baby
Review: While I do not disagree that this is a good video, I want to point out that if you have an easily excited baby, this may not be a good choice for your baby. My baby is 5 months old and since she was 3 months she has occasionally watched bits of the video (we are still not through the whole video). She watches it very intently for a few minutes and then starts screaming and crying! After she sees the video she is so would up that she falls apart at the littlest thing for the next 3 days! She is much happier if I let her watch airplanes on TV with the music on instead.

Summary: Great for young babies!
Review: I was a bit skeptical about how interesting this DVD would be for a 3-4 month old baby but decided to take a quick gamble on it based on other reviews on the site.

When first viewing the DVD, parents should forget what they "think" a baby video should be and really step back and try to see the world from a baby"s point of view. At first, the imagery and transitions seem a bit silly, but after watching my son (now 4.5 months) react to the video, I'm looking forward to showing him the next step in the series.

While it is too easy to just sit him down in front of the TV when you need a brief 30 minute respite, it is actually a lot of fun watching it together because he gives such a positive reaction, smiling and laughing when his favorite images and music come on.

What is especially endearing is his reaction to the opening jingle and scene of the 3D caterpillar inching across the screen; as soon as he hears the chimes, he breaks out in a big grin and starts to become very excited.

Overall, highly recommended for any parent looking for something to stimulate and entertain a young baby.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another great DVD for your child
Review: Just like Baby Einstein (see review), this is a DVD has nice, large videos with multiple colors. It also has many classic Mozart pieces, which have been shown to positively affect infant brain development.

My only negative surprise, was that the Mozart is played by syntheziers, not orchestras. I have gotten used to it now, though. You ought to do your kid a favor, though, and get a good recording of Mozart's works.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Boring for adults, kids can't stop watching
Review: This is one of the more boring videos in this series. However it still keeps my son entertained. It is all music based. It is obivous that this is one of there earier more low budget ones. And this is like torture for adults to have to endure. However it will keep you little one glued to the tv for 20-30 minutes. This one has no education value. For you first video get Baby shakespear or van gogh

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 80% Great
Review: Most of this video is wonderful - lots of appealing music and fun images. BUT for some reason the creator of these tapes thinks the rest of the world wants to watch both her and her kids perform. NEWSFLASH: we don't. At the end of every tape is a promo segment for the company that is much, much too long, and spaced within the tapes are scenes of the woman's own kids acting up for the camera. My son loves the puppet segments and wind-up toy scenes - more of those and less of the kids in future tapes, please!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: My baby loves this video(and I enjoy the music also). She watches it from beginning to end and it gives me a half an hour to do something or just relax :)
