Classical Baby: Im Grown Up Now: The Poetry Show

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.

Watching my granddaughter enjoy the Classical Baby series has been sheer joy for me. I was very disappointed in the Classical Baby Poetry DVD. It did not measure up. My granddaughter did not enjoy it at all.

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.

Forget babies, I play this for my mother who has Alzheimers. We have all the Classical Baby DVDS and play at least one of them every day. I never get tired of them. This video is for kids a little older, as it deals with poetry and words. We also have Goodnight Moon, bedtime stories with footage of kids in between talking about their concept of sleep and dreams. Its very persuasive. PLEASE HBO MAKE MORE OF THESE PROGRAMS!! These videos make great gifts for parents and little ones....or try it with the elderly, nursing homes, Alzheimers units, senior day care centers. My mom loves little kids, so she cant get enough of these videos.

I dont have any kids but watched this with my niece and now this is the #1 gift I get for expecting mothers. I loved this and they did a beautifully job on this video.

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.

We received our DVD classical baby the next day. Our baby loves this video! It is soothing and attention grabbing. It was in perfect condition and prompt delivery! Thank you!

This is the only video that she will watch (besides Caesar the dog whisper, because of all the cute dogs, lol!) I think its because: • music and animation are calm and well made (not frenetic like most cartoons) • there are short segments with young children (4-9 yrs old) where they speak about poems. ITS GREAT! • each poem is animated differently and its short (2-3 minutes each) KEEPS HER INTEREST • theres an animated child MC who introduces the poems • its less than 30 minutes in total length • Celebrity voices and authors, singers, readers is a plus for parents. We dont watch much TV. We are making it a point to avoid TV for our child (16 months old), but this is a wonderful family program, that we all watch together and we talk about it as its running, so shes not being baby sat by the program.

This video is amazing, littles ones are mesmerized. It is great to put on to calm down. Adults and children alike love this video. It is favorite to give as gifts.

Really a great addition to the Classical Baby series. Our two-year-old loves watching it. It gives us something to talk about and interact together when watching.
