Baby Einstein - Neighborhood Animals

Rating:
Summary: Great Entertainment for the Whole Family !!
Review: My son absolutely loves this one. We bought "Language Nursery" and he thought it was utter .... He's four months by the way. Even though it says 1-18 months he got bored and just cried. But Neighborhood Animals on the other hand keeps him entertained all the way through, not to mention that I too, at 39, can enjoy singing Old McDonald again. This one lists for 1-4 year olds. Go figure. I must have one of those wonder kids. As an added note Sandy my cat is also mesmerized by this one. I guess that's killing two birds with one stone so-to-speak.

Summary: Simply Beautiful!
Review: This is the first Baby Einstein video I bought. It is so colorful and eye catchy to young children. My child is 28-month's old with Autism. She normally does not like to watch videos for more then 10 minutes, but this one captivates her for the entire 30 minutes. Do not let the 101 minutes on the label fool you, that is 30 minutes of video and 61 minutes of music you can listen to like a CD. The animals are: Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Cows, Turtles, Fish among many others all beautifully filmed in action. It is much like a really good PBS Nature show, but with each animal on the screen for no more then 5 minutes. In-between the animals segments there are puppets playing and some toys to watch- all animals of course. We love this video and it looks incredible on DVD! A must have as well as World Animals. I just bought some more Baby Einstein DVD's and will review those as well, but the animal ones are by far the best.

Summary: unfortunately the puppets are often unkind to each other
Review: Most of this series of videos are captivating and engaging. Unfortunately there are many scenes where the puppets are overtly unkind to each other. For example, one puppet will "trick" another and then laugh at its misfortune. This may be some parent's idea of quality viewing for their child - but it wasn't for me. I wrote Julie Aigner - the creator of the series - to let her know my feelings about it and I threw all the videos away, except for the Santa Baby one which doesn't have any such scenes in it.

Summary: We are not a big TV family
Review: I am not into TV too much. I have one or two shows that I am really into, but if something more interesting or demanding comes up, then I am not heart broken about missing out. Maybe that is why my little boy is not at all interested in this video. I didn't want to be a parent that let the TV babysit their child, but I was hoping that this video would give me a few minutes to myself and prove to be stimulating to my baby. I bought it for him at 11 months and he was not interested. I waited a few months a reintroduced it. Nothing. I tried again a few weeks ago. Basically my little boy is too busy and he seems to learn the most when me or my husband point things out to him. I am amazed at all the other parents who say their children are enthralled by this video.

Summary: Happy Baby=Happy Mommy
Review: These videos/dvds are the BEST! My 8 month old son gets so excited when I put his walker in front of the TV because he knows he's in for a treat. Let's be honest parents, these videos are a lifesaver for those times you need a half hour to get things done or just take a longer shower. The baby is happy, you're happy (and clean), and it's quality educational entertainment.

Summary: Candy for a child's eyes, ears, and brain!
Review: I was skeptical about putting my baby in front of the TV set, but I held my breath and bought Baby Dolittle and hoped for the best. I am not disappointed and neither is my one-year-old son. He's limited to watching only Baby Einstein DVDs and squeals with excitement when it's his TV time. He loves the puppet show, the catchy music, and the pictures and sounds of the animals. He can't get enough Baby Dolittle.

Review: I was skeptical about putting my 10-month old in front of the TV, but I held my breath and ordered Baby Doolittle. It was a big hit from the day it arrived. My son LOVES the fun music, the exciting puppet show, and the animal clips and sounds! He's one year old now and still finds Baby Doolittle as captivating as the first day he saw it. He squeals with excitement when it's his TV time, and he's limited to watching only Baby Einstein DVDs!
