Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water [DVD]

A GREAT DVD at a reasonable price that was shipped in a timely manner ... just doesnt get much better than that - a Christmas present for our granddaughter that she absolutely LOVES!

If she follows the Baby Newton format, I give it five stars. My 6 month old loves Newton, with its images, songs and puppets.

My baby has seen this and all of the Baby Einstein collection from birth. We both love them. The Language Nursery is particularly calming and simple. Now that my son is two, I use it for quieter moments, because it might not catch his attention for long periods if he is too excited. As explained by the creator at the end, this video does not try to teach anyone a new language, but helps to stimulate the babys brain with a wider variety of sounds and intonations. Thus the childs brain will develop in richer ways, which may help not just build intelligence but later improve familiarisation with other languages compared to what one could achieve by hearing only one language. This can only be a wonderful opportunity.

We bought the Baby Neptune tape for our 3-month old daughter. I was a little worried that she was too young for it, but she was captivated by the music and colors and didnt take her eyes off the screen. She actually squealed every time the duck puppet appeared! This could be a lifesaver when household chores need to get done!

Who cares what I think. Our grandaughter loves water, so this is her favorite Baby Einstein (out of about 5). Shes learned to say octopus. (18 mo. old)

My daughter has enjoyed this since she was a couple of months old, and I feel comfortable letting her watch it. It will hold her attention the entire time, and she enjoys talking quietly to herself while hearing the variety of languages. (Shes 7 months) I wish the languages were directly related to the content of the pictures. I will still buy others from the series! My child doesnt see much other TV, so perhaps a child who watches a lot of TV would find this video less interesting than she does.

Got this tape as a shower gift and it seemed like a good idea - but I must say that my little son is absolutely bored with this tape. Plus, frankly, there are others he likes much better and will watch and talk to much more actively (his current favorites are the two Brainy Baby tapes) and this tape looks a little like it was videotaped in someones garage. Sorry, but there are better tapes out there.

Wow, it seems quite a few of you have some really strong negative opinions about Baby Einstein Language Nursery! I have to say, Im shocked! My 10 month old daughter is just fascinated with this dvd, Ive actually replayed it several times in a row for her while she was teething, because it was the ONLY thing that would make her smile! I think that the imagery is perfect for kids of any age. Its simple with a stark background, sure to hold a babys attention. When you have too much going on visually, it can detract from the learning process. I will admit, the same as another reviewer that I did, at first, double check my language settings when I heard German with no English translation. The songs, number counting, and rhymes are soothing, and I find myself anxious to watch the dvd with my little one. One reviewer commented that we, as parents cant figure out what is being said. First of all, when WE learned our native lanuages, we didnt always have a ball in front of us when someone said the word. This is how we learn the language. And just because us parents may not be able to translate a German nursery rhyme, doesnt mean that hearing it is entirely lost on our kids! And its not too difficult to figure out the difference between the German alphabet and 1-20 in Japanese. (use your fingers, if you need to!) Ive learned both from watching this video, and rekindled my love of foreign languages. I am now studying Japanese and German, and already speak French, English, and Spanish. This is both mine and my daughters favorite of the Baby Einstein collection, and we love them all!

This video is awesome for kids up until they are in the crawling stage, at least my son was that way. The Mozart, Bach, Neighborhood Animals and Shakespeare, are taking him to toddlerhood. Baby Einstein was my shower, dinner, clothes time for the first few months - I knew he was safe and content. A great item to have for the first few months of life.

This was my first daughters favorite Baby Einstein show and now it is my second daughters favorite as well. There must be something about the water theme that little babies just love. They also like the puppets in the different segments. Baby Einstein shows are so great for children and have really helped my kids vocabulary!
