Baby Einstein - Neighborhood Animals

My Daughter Loves these movies. While Baby McDonald - Day On the Farm is her favorite this is a close second. She loves seeing and naming all the familiar animals and telling what they say. These movies make a great teaching and interacting time for my daughter and me.

This is one of the best Baby Einstein DVDs, perhaps THE best. Both our one year old and three year old love to watch it because it has such great footage of a variety of animals and insects. For some reasons, other BEs did not hold their attention in the same way i.e. Baby Neptune seemed interesting to me, but our kids always drifted away and ended up doing something else. Not so with this DVD--and they have continued to concentrate on it even after repeated viewings.

Purchased for better education and entertainment. All the animals got my Granddaughters attention and she loved watching all the fun.

Our son loves these movies. Used since he was a few months old. He is going on 2 and they still will keep his attention. Very educational and fun.

Got this for the first born, They absolutely loved it and ended up getting more later on down the road.

Im so glad our 6 month old loves this video! She and Mommy both laugh at the doggie puppets antics, and she seems fascinated at the live action footage of animals. (of course... she loves Zoboomafoo too!) Personally, I thought they couldve found some cuter otters for the video, but thats nitpicking.

My son LOVES his Baby Einstein videos--Baby Bach, Beethoven, Mozart & Shakespeare. He begs to watch them and we have recently had to set limits on his viewing. Having grown weary of watching the same ones over and over, my husband decided to buy the Neighborhood Animals video. Im not sure at this point if my son (16 months)likes this video or not--hes only seen it 2 or 3 times, so it is a bit early to tell. He does seem to like the children singing Old McDonalds Farm. I, however, have a few issues with this video. I have to wonder if young children/toddlers find it confusing when Pavlov the Dog makes cow, cat, pig, etc. sounds. My son is learning which animals make which sounds, but heres this dog mooing and oinking and meowing. I also have to wonder if it is a good idea to show toddlers the clip of the mice having a food fight. I have a hard enough time getting my son to keep his food on his tray! My final gripe is: why include the otter? Why not a fish as an example of an animal on the river? Certainly more familiar to youngsters, I would think. Of course, if my son ends up loving this video as much as he does the music-oriented ones, Ill gladly sit through this one with him!

I bought this DVD for my great-granddaughter. She loves it.

I purchased Vol. 1 which is a series of 6 Baby Einstein DVDs (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Neptune, World Animals, Neighborhood Animals)for my baby when she was a newborn. She is now 17 months old, and she has never cared for any of them EXCEPT for the Neighborhood Animals DVD which depicts scenes of familiar animals like cows, horses, cats, dogs, etc. She really loves the part when they sing Old MacDonald. This DVD also puts words on the screen when introducing dog & cat, etc., and when those scenes come on, my child will say the word with the DVD. The other titles in this volume are downright boring. I think overall the Baby Einstein series is over-rated. I could put on a better puppet show myself using the toys in my living room. I think a lot of folks, including myself, were intrigued by the catchy Baby Einstein name, because we all want to raise little Einsteins. Im sure the folks at Baby Einstein are laughing all the way to the bank! I havent seen some of the other titles like Van Gogh, Numbers Nursery, Shakespeare, etc., so I dont know if these are any better, but with all the money im out on Vol.1, I wont be giving Baby Einstein another chance. We much prefer the Brainy Baby and Babys First Impressions (predecessor of the Brainy Baby series) series of products. But, to each his own.

Definitely the cutest and innovative video so far! My 1 1/2 year old loves it (and it doesnt annoy me either!) It features animals & the usual puppets, plus it holds attention, as with the rest of the series! I recommend this one!
