Baby Einstein - Neighborhood Animals

Grandbaby loves this and educational!

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 didnt 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.

Bought for my grandson. Five months old, loved it

My 20 month old loves this video, as he does the others in this series. Each night at bedtime, I allow him to watch one of the tapes - the music and animation tend to calm him and the muppets and animals stimulate his language development. Baby Dolittle is one of his favorites! Whomever did the research in producing these videos is indeed an Einstein!

My 14-month-old absolutely loves this DVD. This is one of her favorites along with World Animals and Baby MacDonald. The only segment that upsets her is when Pavlov smacks the bee with a fly swatter. She starts whining at me when the bug segment starts so I can fast forward it through that scene. Otherwise, she is mesmerized for the whole movie.

Bought this for our granddaughter when she was several months old.It never held her interest.She is now almost 22 months old and has yet to watch this for more than a few minutes.

We used the baby Bach and baby Mozart videos when our 7 month old was younger and she loves them, but Neighborhood Animals is her all time favorite. She sits in her walker and watches the animals and even tries to talk to them. She gets excited when the pupets/animals make sounds and loves the music. She smiles and starts making her little baby sounds everytime she see Pavlov the dog. We used to put her in her swing and let her watch Bach or Mozart while we get ready for work in the A.M. But with this video she got so excited in the swing that we had to put her on the floor or in her walker! Even though the age recommendations are 1 yr to 4 yr I highly recommend it for younger babies. I took the video over to the sitters and she said all the kids liked it and watched intently. (the ages are 8mth, 7mth, 5mth and 2 years!) Im not a big fan of sitting my daughter in front of the TV; however, when both parents work and you need to buy a little time in the morning this is the greatest! I hope your children love it as much as my daughter does!

I have bought almost all of Baby Einstein vedios, and this one is by far the best. My two year old was facinated with it from beginning to end, probably the most entertaining 30 minutes for both of us. Whats really special about this vedio, is the quality of the animal photography, comparable to National Geographic style. And the abundance of different species protrayed with each animal; for cats alone, there were probably 10 different cats/kittens doing different cat things. There is even cute little dog trick to spice up the presentation. The puppet shows were short and smart and sweet, and toys in these animal forms were used between takes to strengthen the association and keeps it interesting for little minds. I cant say enough about it, this is a definate must-have for children of all ages (including those with the child at heart) can enjoy on a magnitude level.

I am not a parent, and do not confess to know anything about raising children. But I have seen this video. My 2 1/2 year old (great)nephew (hes now 3) had this with him early this summer when he came with his family one day to visit me, and I watched it with him. I have found kiddie videos annoying and trite, but this one is very clever. Of particular interest to and approval from me is the use of Classical music, although played on glockenspiels and electronic synthesizers (not the original instruments the music was written for) is excellent, in exposing young children to music of substance and quality while going with a story line about domestic animals. Music of Beethoven, Rimsky-Korsakov and Domenico Scarlatti are represented, as well as other composers I cannot recall at the moment. The scene shifts frequently: appropriate for a young child. The music serves the visuals, and is effective. If I was a parent, I would consider this over the violent cartoons and other low quality videos available for children these days. I am not surprised that my niece and her husband have carefully chosen this for their sons (my great nephew) viewing, as they are very conscienscious parents.

I dont know why there a bird instead of a cat Is there a a love the. Bird and the dog wow! I love it I recommend it
