Classical Baby: Im Grown Up Now: The Poetry Show

The music is great and my son absolutely loves the animation. He is glued to the TV screen when I put the classical baby DVDs on. He smiles & happily claps along with the characters. each video is 30 mn and at his age that enough. I

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.

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.

I am not a poetry person but I do love this poetry DVD.]I appreciate watching the pictures / art. They are so beautiful and creative. My baby loves watching other children talk. She loves the songs. I wish the DVD can be longer. it feels like 15 minutes long to me.

This is the best of the Classical Baby series. The music and the graphics are as powerful as the words. The combination is exquisite, compelling. My grandchildren, aged 5 and 3, love this one.

We own Classical Baby Art, Dance, Music and Poetry and have watched/listened to them now for 5 years without getting sick of them (of course with a few breaks in between). They have now become my gift of choice to new parents.

A wonderful follow-up to Baby Music and Baby Dance. It is an impressive collection of children describing poetry. I hope there are more of this series.

My 4 month old will watch this DVD all the way through happily. When she hears it on the TV she turns her head. When she is crying in the car and I turn this Poetry Show on she stops crying. She loves the Owl and the Pussy Cat the best. She also enjoys the children discussing Poetry.

I enjoy watching Classical Art, Music, and Dance with two of my grandchildren who visit frequently. While only 2 and 3 1/2 years old, they barely move or make a sound while the DVDs are playing and always ask for one more. Classical Poetry is the perfect continuation of the series with the little baby grown up. My grandchildren seem to love the real children who make an appearance in this series. In the Classical Art series, there is a Mary Cassatt painting of a Mother and Child and my granddaughter saw immediately that the little girl looked quite like her. I discovered that this painting was at the Metropolitan Museum and so I planned a day to visit the museum with her (the perfect follow-up to the DVD). The photo of her standing by the painting is priceless. We will be writing poetry next. The Classical Baby Poetry DVD is such a great introduction to poetry - especially with all the different opinions about just what it is.

I am a first grade teacher and I use this video to introduce my poetry unit. My class loves it and asks to watch it over and over. It really holds their interest. They really like listening to what the children in the video say about poetry and they want to discuss the poems after viewing the video. As a teacher, you could not ask for more.
