Rating: Summary: Very Disappointing Review: I have many of the Brainy Baby and Baby Einstein DVD's and was encouraged to buy this one by the glowing reviews it had received. I was very disappointed. Unlike the others, there is NO narration at all. My biggest complaint: these videos do not identify the picture that is being shown--either verbally or in print on the screen. So, the video shows a hundred pictures of cows without ever showing the word "cow", or naming them, or the sound they make (or anything else about them)...just picture after picture set to classical music. No narration. No words to read. Pretty darn dull. So, I'm not sure why this is supposed to be so 'educational'; but personally I would not buy any more in this series. There are much better DVD's out there on which to spend your money.
Rating: Summary: Baby SuperBORE Review: I have three wonderful children and consider myself a successful Mother. But having shown these videos to my children now calls that into question. I often buy new developmental products for my kids and of course, they are not all a success, but none has been a disaster such as this. In a word these videos are - pathetic. My children hated them and I literally sat there in awe as they watched what is described as progressively developmental but in reality was created by people who have no concept of what the term developmental means. It is apparent that the creators of these products have not had much interaction with children. As an educated woman I find this video series patronizing and I find the parenting guide a joke. Since when is Joyce Brothers an expert on raising children? She is obviously simply for hire. This guide is worthless and again, patronizing. I do not reccomend these videos to anyone.
Rating: Summary: who needs a title? this video is good Review: I like this video a lot and I would suggest any parent looking for a good educational video for their child to get this one. The soundtrack that goes along is also very good and in tune with what is on the screen. They also make good gifts.

Rating: Summary: 1 Star too many Review: I too am terribly disappointed with this video. The animation looks amateurish, the video looks dated and the toys featured look cheap and tacky. Unlike the toys featured in the Baby Einstein series, I'd probably never buy any of these. And this video is supposed to be developmentally sound, but it must be based on outdated developmental theories. My children are not at all captivated by the video, and although they are in the age range for this and the other products, they are so far beyond the level of these videos that they have no interest in watching them. They literally left the room last time I tried to play it for them. This product is so far inferior to anything in the Baby Einstein line that they should not even be listed in the same category. I do not recommend them. In fact, I am returning the video I bought.
Rating: Summary: A fun-filled trip to the farm Review: I was pleasently pleased by the reaction of my infant to Baby Superstar Farmer. At first I was sceptical about videos for children, but my baby loved the video and I found the parents guide on the DVD very useful. My baby coos and laughs each time I play the video, and I feel better knowing that it was designed by pediatricians and will help my baby develop.
Rating: Summary: who needs a title? this video is good Review: My 5 month old daughter is watching the Farmer DVD right now as I am writing this. We ordered the video 2 months ago and I don't think a day has passed when she hasn't watched it. Also, the audio CD that comes with the DVD is great for playing in the car.
Rating: Summary: My child's favorite Review: My daughter (9 months old) received this DVD as a Christmas Present. She gets very excited when I play the DVD and can watch the entire show (this gives me a needed break), she claps along to the music. She has not been interested in other videos, but loves this DVD, especially the music and animals. I would recommend this DVD to any parent with a child under 18 months.

Rating: Summary: Not worth the money Review: My five month-old daughter loves the Baby Einstein videos, but I wanted to add some variety to our viewing. I saw an advertisement for these videos in a baby magazine and thought they might be worth a try. I was EXTREMELY disappointed. The fact that the music is an actual orchestra instead of the synthesized/rearranged music of the Baby Einstein videos was nice, but the video was BORING. My daughter who sits in total rapture at a Baby Einstein video cried after the first 5 mintues. I think it would have been nicer to see many more animals (which babies love) rather than tons of shots of a tractor and farm equipment. Yes, it's great that the equipment is seen, but really - the kids like the animals! I would not recommend this video. It's not worth the money.
