Summary: not a development tool but a fancy mobile
Review: The production quality is good and I do appreciate that the music is played by an orchestra and not a lone synthesizer but overall I can not reccomend these videos as development tools for infants. There are many concepts introduced but few are repeated and most are introduced quickly and dissapear quickly. There is also little continuity between concepts. It doesn't seem to me that these videos are based on any research on how infants learn from television but, even so, the videos sure do make rather bold educational claims. I am sorry to say that these videos are not "a breakthrough in infant development" as they say, but yet another spin-off of the toys-moving-to-music format. Some of the moving toys attracted my infants attention but I don't agree that these videos are learning tools. Maybe for a toddler but not an infant. For many infants these videos will be nothing but a fancy mobile - and there's nothing wrong with that.

Summary: Entertaining and educational
Review: These are a great addition to those who enjoy the Baby Einstein series. I actually think Brainy Baby DVDs are a cut above, not only are your little ones being entertained, they are learning, too! These are well produced, nice music, nice visuals, really keeps my baby girl engaged. We'll see in time how much she has learned when she gets to the talking stage, but in the meantime, I feel pretty good showing these to her, especially when I need a few minutes to fold the laundry or cook dinner, etc...

Summary: Best gift ever!
Review: This is by far the best gift I received for my baby! I never write reviews, but the Right Brain/Left Brain series are so wonderful, I couldn't help but to express my opinion. My son has been watching them since he was two months old. He is now 8 months old and still enjoys them. I recently purchased the ABC's one, and even though it says it is for ages 2-5, he sat straight up in his bouncy seat for almost the entire video. In my opinion, these are so much better than the Baby Einstein series--my son is not nearly as engaged in the Baby Bach and Mozart Einstein videos that I have tried.

Summary: Great asset for Parents!
Review: This video was fun for my daughter when she was an infant, but now that she is older she loves to read off the alphabet as she sees it and call out and identify other things she sees on screen. The music is calming but the content is stimulating, a great combination. The babies are beautiful and charming... and I do like my daughter to see the ethnic diversity represented here. This is a great tool, both for entertainment and calming affect, but also for review and teaching of basic concepts for preschoolers.

Summary: Brainy Baby LEFT BRAIN
Review: Two thumbs way up for this addition to the RIGHT BRAIN video! Our daughter is either busy trying to find the flash card that goes with what is being shown on the screen or she is twirling to the music. Either way she is learning and that is the whole reason we bought these in the first place. I have found quality for my money and an educational experience with Brainy Baby that doesn't talk down to our kids but inspires them to join in on the learning!

Summary: Great choice for your child!
Review: We bought both of the tapes (left and right brain). As a teacher of young children the tapes present math, problem solving, colors, numbers and a even Spanish and French in an age appropriate manner. My son really enjoys the interactive style of the videos and the colorful presentation. I highly recommend these videos for your child or as a gift.
