    We like all the Classical Baby series. My 4 year old son loves Dance, Music, and Art. The poetry is entertaining, and has children older than my son, but Im have yet to see a bunch of young kids who are deeply into poetry, meter, etc. But, its a terrific video. Maybe you can use it to interest your kids in poetry...

    Great illustration, music and poem! My 2.5 yo son can rarely focus on one DVD for too long, but this one just kept him interested from the beginning till the end. Money well spent.

    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).

    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 baby is 9months old and she absolutely loves this DVD. In fact both she and I are glued to the TV when I play this DVD. Unlike the other 3 Classical Baby DVDs (they are all excellent), this one has interviews of other kids about why they like poetry and what they think about it. My baby loves watching these kids as much as the animation. If you just get 2 of the 4 Classical Baby DVDs, Id get the Music and Poetry.

    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.

    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.

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
