Summary: Just Horrible
Review: The content is poor and cheaply done. Spoken words don't match image presented. Example: They show clock and count till 30. They would point to a number and pronounce completely different one. While pronouncing Alphabet of one of the languages they were showing cubes with numbers. While singing Russian song about geese they showed toy pig and ram.

Outrageous... I can't believe anyone would keep this material let alone show to a child.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excelent - Mi kids just love it
Review: Recently we bought this video for our kids and we can just keep them out of the television when this video is on. My older kid (a 3 year old) is repeating all the phrases on the different languages. In a couple of words he just love it. My younger kid (a 18 month old) watchs this video and you can't make him see anything else.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Less recomendable than the rest of the collection
Review: It's good, though the least amusing of the whole collection. If it does help them to get used to different languages, I'll never know, but in the meantime, though he does like it, he is far less interested in it than the other BabyEinstein videos. The images are slower, action doesn't match music... How come in spanish they only count up to 10?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: My 1-year old didn't like this one
Review: This one has failed to keep my kid's attention for some reason. It's difficult to figure out why - it's the same format as Baby Mozart, Baby Bach, Baby Van Gogh - but for some reason, this one doesn't work for him. Musically, it's not as good as the more musical-intensive ones (Mozart, Bach) - but of the Baby Einstein series videos that we've seen - the namessake video has been the biggest dud of 'em all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My kid loves it!
Review: This DVD contains many features. THe only one I have used is the video portion of it, which features stunning visual images of nature, interspersed with many baby toys being played with. The images are large (for your child to see well). In the background, narrators are speaking poems and nursery rhymes in several different languages. It's fun. Plus, they claim hearing the many different phonemes helps the baby's brain development.

Suggestion: watch the video with your kid, talking with him/her as you watch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You child might be too old for this video
Review: If you child is over 9 months old, you may want to skip this video and purchase the other videos in the series. I bought this one and Baby Mozart at the same time, my 9 months old definitely prefers Baby Mozart.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as enthralling as the rest of the series
Review: From the age of one year, my son was totally mesmerized by Baby Bach and Baby Mozart, but Baby Einstein left him a little cold. Focusing as it does on nursery rhymes in numerous languages sung by women from around the world, it just couldn't hold his attention the way that the well-orchestrated music of the other videos in the series did, and he showed no interest in learning all these other languages (he's already bilingual Japanese/English). Perhaps if he had started watching this video when he was under the age of one it might have held more attraction for him, but as he can now express his own preferences, he prefers other videos to this one and won't sit still through it at the age of 2.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent head start!
Review: When my grandson was 6 weeks old, I began using this video. Within a few months his ability to comprehend became obvious to everyone. Others made remarks about his curiousity and attentivness. At 12 months, other videos in the series captured his imagination. Now, at 23 months, he recognize and recites letters from 1/10 along with the letters of the alphabet, most shapes (including a trapizoid), the colors and many words. Sometimes we find him quietly looking through a book. In addition, he is using the computer. I am convinced that early exposure to this video stimulate a child's cognitive abilities. In my opinion the true value of this video is yet to be discovered.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Generally dissapointing
Review: Wonderful photography, as always, but it would be nice if they had included a word-for-word translation booklet so parents could translate.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Disappointment...
Review: I purchased both the Baby Einstein and Baby Mozart. Compare the two, my baby clearly prefer the Mozart over Einstein. She claps and giggles during Baby Mozart, but unintersted at Einstein whatsoever. I will try this tape again when she's alittle older, but for now, it's Baby Mozart all the way!
