Grape soda for the mind: Your child will learn less, not more.
Your child would love watching this video, but she'd also love eating cotton candy and drinking grape soda. Many pediatric and psychological studies have shown that young children know FEWER words for every hour they spend watching videos like this one. Why? Because they aren't spending time with YOU, practicing their language and social skills. There's also evidence that young children who watch TV have a greater risk of developing ADHD. Last, toddlers who grow up in homes with the TV always on in the background literally seem to have more trouble hearing themselves think. This hurts their developing linguistic abilities and consequently their abilities to engage silent reasoning.
Please protect your child -- don't let her watch any TV during her early, crucial, developmental years. We only watch TV when our little girl is asleep.

Good but marred by ads
The video itself is great, but I find it abhorrent that it begins and ends with ads (for other products by the Baby Einstein company). If some Disney really felt that they had to include ads, they could easily have added a menu choice offering information on their other related products. But no, they placed a video announcement for these products right within the play -- as the first thing you see after selecting play, and the last thing after the video itself ends. So you'll get to hear those ads each and every single time you play the DVD.

Baby Einstein
Can't go wrong if your child loves these videos. My grandson watches them over and over and over and over......

Great DVD
My 6 month old loves this! Of course, he loves all the Baby Einstein DVD's but this one is one of my favorites in addition to the Farm Animal one. I am looking to buy 1 or 2 more for him.

VERY Artistic
As an artist myself I love seeing my baby learning and looking at diffrent colors. Van Gogh is great and I really enjoyed seeing the paintings on it. Buy it, its worth it!

Nice art, but otherwise ... Puhleeze!
Aside from exposing your child to beautiful art from a master (which you could do with an art book), this DVD insults your child's intelligence.
IF you want your little one to be riveted and learn at the same time, there are many better products on the market that aren't as well marketed. My daughter loved Trebellina as a toddler, which taught her how to read written music (yes, really). By three she was taking lessons and amazing her teachers with what she already knew. Her ear was well trained for pitch to the point where she can also tell you any note on a piano just be hearing it. Now she is four and plowing ahead with piano -- she equally loves sounding out songs by ear and playing written songs.
Do a little digging for your baby. Disney will NOT turn your child into an Einstein!

A good classic puppet format
While I hate to admit it, my 8 month old is hooked on Baby Einstein. His favorites are Baby VanGogh, Baby McDonald, Numbers Nursery and Baby Shakespeare--i.e., all the classical puppet format types. Baby VagGogh is a sort-of introduction to colors, and after seeing it dozens of times my baby still smiles at his favorite puppets. I've researched the BE series thoroughly, and highly recommend these titles. While I am not crazy enough to think the videos will make my little one smarter, I do like that I know what he's seeing, I get a few minutes to shower, cook, etc, and most importantly, he loves them!

Baby Homer Simpson? DVDs not for babies even if "Einstein" is in the name...
The name "Baby Einstein" is a nice way to lull parents into feeling okay about their babies watching tv, but according to the American Academy of Pediatrics babies should not be exposed to television at all before they're 2 years old! According to Time Magazine and the Boston Globe,
"...among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age."
Brain wave activity in babies is actually slower when watching television than when *sleeping*, and yet another study shows that for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of having an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%. (Example, 5 hours a day = 50% greater chance of ADD). I like William Sears' advice that "relationships, not things, make babies smarter". The easiest way to make babies smarter? Carry them in a sling, since it is proven to make them smarter because they are relating to you physically, emotionally, verbally, and visually. For more information carrying a baby in a sling see the Listmania list "Natural Parenting for Baby's First Year". Also, if you want to check the facts out for yourself you can start by google-ing "television and baby studies".

My baby loved it
My child at 4 months old watched this video on a trip to G-ma's house (a 9 hour drive) Over that time he watched it 3 times (it's about 20 minutes long). The first time through he would look at it and get excited occasionally but was not captivated. By the 3rd time he saw it, he was squealing with delight through the entire video.

World of Colors -
My 4.5 month old is watching this one and loves the fast paced music and the vivid colors. So far one of the best of eight that I have bought
