Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water [DVD]

Love love love the whole baby Einstein DVDs. My 2 year old loves these DVDs so much he screams caterpillar! And laughs every time we turn on one of these DVDs. We like it so much we ended up buying the baby Einstein 26 DVD set of these. Its great for quiet time. Or when my little one has had a terrible nightmare and needs to be calmed down. I highly recommend this.

My 4.5 month old loves this DVD - the music is great and he loves water. He loves the turtle and the duck and all the kids they show. My husband and I enjoy this Baby Einstein also. I say this is the best so far because we are getting Baby Monet for Easter and it might be even better.

I have to agree with the most recent review. This video was my least favorite of the entire series. Julie Clark has chosen to mark this video from birth to eighteen months, but I disagree. My son did not take interest in this video until 9 months. He is now nineteen months and his interest in it has grown as he has gotten older. Although I consider Julie Clark a brillant woman for creating this video series, I think she should have used a professional voice-over for the American segments rather than her own voice. Her voice lacks umph and comes across as boring and unstimulating. The other voices in this video, although none of them are professional voice artists, are at least soothing and stimulating to the ear.

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.

Quick shipping and a great product, completely satisfied with my purchase. (And baby is too!)

I love the concept behind this video; it is crucial to expose children to the phonemes of all languages before the age of 12 months. I was very excited to discover this particular video, especially after being VERY impressed with the quality of Baby Bach and Baby Mozart. Unfortunately, my 7-month-old just isnt interested in this video. He absolutely LOVES B-Bach & Mozart, but this video just doesnt have the same fast-paced, attention-grasping quality. Having said that, I must add that I do love the fact that it exposes children to various languages, and although it isnt visually stimulating, having it play for the auditory component is well worth the investment. 4 stars!

Unfortunately this video is not as captivating to my son as the Baby Mozart Video. The voices are alittle faint and he gets distracted easily when I play it. We were given Baby Mozart video(which included the CD) HE LOVED IT (both:video and CD)...When riding in the car, as soon as it was on he quieted right down! BABY EINSTEIN may be better for him after 12 mos... (I do like the fact that some include the CDs.) I plan on trying the Baby Bach...Sounds like it is more like the Baby Mozart Video.

We got this for our daughter when she turned 1 and she absolutely loved it! She was very captivated by it and loved dancing to the classical music. Even now at almost 2, she still pulls it off the shelf to watch it and learns new things each time. And...the characters in it are so cute! We just wish it was a little bit longer!

I never pay attention to the age requirements on the Baby Einstein series. I have a 5 month old son and even though hes not understanding the words and concepts yet, he loves some of the others, such as Baby Van Gogh. But with this one, he just doesnt seem to enjoy it as much. He likes the opening scene (and so do I) since its fast moving and colorful, but after that he gets bored. Maybe its better for older children who will understand the words like ocean and river a little more.

Well... the Baby Einstein Company has done it again... yet another top notch video to add to their collection. I have been a die hard Baby Einstein fan for 2 1/2 years now, as my twins are that old! Although the video is rated for ages 9 months and up, I am confidant that a smaller baby would love the visuals here. Baby Neptune is all about water. From the ocean, to rivers and lakes, to tub time, to a jaunt in the back yard with a garden hose, to tooth brushing time, Baby Neptunes got it all. There is even a section on beaches that covers sand castle building, and some exploration in a tidal pool. The hosts of the show are a turtle and duck - the same line of bath puppets used in most of their other videos. There is minimal computer animation here, which is a typical trademark of the Baby Einstein Company, who promotes the real world object theory that kids relate best to things they know and see in the world around them. There are children throughout the video, and as one other reviewer so rudely noted, I dont think they are offensive to watch! In fact, I dont believe that any of Julie Clarks own children are even in this video. That is a shame, as my son has a major crush on Aspen and Sierra! The children that are present here only add to the personal and real world feeling of this video. There are also various brightly colored toys intersperced into the video for added visual affect (think Baby Mozart). The show is choreographed to a wonderful selection of stimulating yet soothing classical music, so its easy on parents ears if your child chooses to watch it 10 times in a row! For extra fun, there is an aquarium bonus feature (DVD only) where you can watch a nice man feeding a bunch of fish in the Colorado Aquarium. I give this 5 stars..you just cant loose with this one. Enjoy!
