    Beautiful and charming. Gkids love it and so do I ! Presently by children who comment on the nature of poetry. The poems are well chosen representing variety from Frost (Stopping by Woods...to Edward Lears Owl and the Pussycat to Shakespeare)and each is animated and narrated wonderfully by just the right voice for each selection ! Beautiful introduction to poetry! Highly recommend!

    Another great DVD in the Classical Baby series. I only wish, for their length, they were all on one DVD.

    My children loved all of the Baby Classical. They would sit in front of the TV from infants & be glued to it. It is also pleasant to listen to while you try to get somethings done while they are preoccupied. Much better than listening to Dora or Barney. I would rather get Classical Baby stuck in my head for the day than one of those. They are now 5 & & YO and if I turn it on, they still sit & watch it.

    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.

    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.

    What a wonderful way to grow a love for the classics in a young child. This is a beautiful DVD, and it makes a wonderful gift. It is perfectly appropriate for the very young child.

    This is a MUST BUY item. We LOVE the Classical Baby series and this one is as good as the rest. Its poetry is sooo lovely and its such a wonderful way to expose your little ones (my son is two) to poetry and the beauty of synchronous rhyme. Its truly lovely, I wish theyd make more! The only con I see with this item is that I wish it were longer (its only about 20 minutes total in length).

    We have had the entire Classical Baby series since my daughter was born. Its really good stuff. Educational, artistic, fun to watch and really well done. As an adult, I find myself sucked in every time we watch these. There are four versions. The Poetry Show is with out a doubt the most verbal of the lot with all of the wonderful spoken language brought to life with lovely art work. All four have a calm manner about them, making them perfect for relaxation time or for watching during long car rides. I honestly cant recommend these enough. This is TV you wont feel guilty about letting your kids watch.

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
