    We baught the poetry and music dvds after we tried the dance and art. As I said in my other review, we are very pleased with them. I love the children discussing poetry and the selection of poetry on this dvd.

    I like ALL of the Classical Baby series!! Really appeals to our grandson... wonder how much he will retain... without being able to read. I have probably learned more than he.

    A MUST HAVE SHOW for your kids!!! We love it!!! And it has sparked a general love and interest of poetry among our children. :) I could do without the comments of the children between poetry. I wish they just wouldve added more classic works of poetry.

    my 14-month-old has been watching this video since about 6-months of age, whenever i cut her nails. it was also the only thing that calmed her down when we had to give her masked breathing treatments for an acute illness at 6-months. she absolutely loves the brief kids interviews and even favors one particular girl and boy; she gets giddy whenever they come on. i find the short interviews (several seconds; up to 1/2 minute maybe?) to be wonderful transitions and good pacers. the children actually seem quite bright. i talk to my daughter about the video while cutting her nails; she has actually learned a lot of receptive language from the interactions. my husband and i really like the variety of poetry and animation, as well as the different voices performing/reading the poetry. very well presented. we really, really, really, wish there were more poetry videos to come. we also have the set of 3 (dance, art, music), but this one has always been the most captivating for our daughter.

    The Poetry cd was a run away favorite for all ages: from 5 to 70. My 5 y.o. grand-daughter said: I love this. It makes me feel calm.

    My son has loved this since he was 4 months old. Hes 11 months now and he will watch it three or more times if I keep playing it for him. He plays on the floor and looks up to watch the children commenting, and he definitely has his favorite friends in the show. I like it because its got substantial content in an easy to digest format, and he probably wont develop ADD from this like he might from Sponge Bob. Or so I hear. I think its great, and I hope theres a sequel. We have the entire Classical Baby set, but the Poetry Show is by far our favorite.

    I loved the first three Classical Baby videos (Music, Dance, Art) and I love this one every bit as much. As always, the material is varied and captivating. I absolutely love having such a great way to share culture with my young children. (And I love to watch it, too.)

Young children are instinctively drawn to the sound of rhyming words and the rhythmic cadence of poetry. Add colorful animation, music, and footage of real elementary age children, and Classical Baby has created an appealing half-hour program that encourages an early appreciation of poetry. Produced in association with The Poetry Foundation, Classical Baby: The Poetry Show is a compilation of 13 favorite poems from poetry masters like William Shakespeare, John Keats, Woodie Guthrie, and Gertrude Stein. Famous personalities including Gwyneth Paltrow and Susan Sarandon recite poems like Elizabeth Barrett Browning"s "How Do I Love Thee?" and Robert Frost"s "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." William Carlos Williams reads his own "This is Just to Say" while Hoagy Carmichael performs Johnny Mercer"s "Skylark" and young children recite poems like William Carlos Williams" "The Red Wheelbarrow." Poems are accompanied by bright animation that"s highly appealing to children and many are followed by brief comments from elementary age children. Some preschool and elementary-age viewers will be transfixed by the entire production while others will pick and choose the segments they find interesting, but what"s most important is that every young viewer gains exposure to the art of poetry. --Tami Horiuchi
