Baby crack...
I sing the songs too! Urgh! And I don't see the appeal of this video but my 14 month old has LOVED this since she's been 7 months old. She prefers this particular DVD over any DVD or program on TV. I've got another one of the Baby Song series and I'm in the process of buying another.

He likes it... a lot!
I absolutely hate this DVD!!!! I hate it because my kid loves it and we watch it constantly... I hate it because some of the songs are catchy and I find myself humming them at work... and I hate it because my wife and I find each other singing along with the DVD. But seriously... there are some good lessons on this one and we have noticed that our son is picking up his shapes. One of the better DVDs from the series.

Adults may hate it, but kids will LOVE it
My two year old daughter saw this at a friend's house and adored it so much we bought it for her. Adults will cringe at the 80's/90's style clothing and hair, and the lame but catchy tunes and lyrics. Kids, however, cannot get enough of it. It is my daughter's #1 favorite DVD, and it has helped her with letters, shapes, etc. As much as I loathe it, it does what it's supposed it-- keeps our daughter very happy, and gives her some educational benefits to boot.

Great For Kids
There is no series like Baby Songs that my children like more. It's great for infants to toddlers and is great at teaching.

Excellent activity for parents to do with their children
I first checked this out from the library when my son was 24 months old. He loved most of the songs, though some were too fast for him to appreciate at that age.
I checked it out for a second time when he was 36 months old and he caught on to those faster songs just fine, but some of the slower sons were boring to him.
At that time, I also had a 12 month old who couldn't have cared less about the songs or images, but he was happy because his big brother was obviously having a good time!
This is not something you can sit your baby in front of and walk away. You have to interact and provide some tools (spoons, bananas, bean bags, etc) for the kids to get involved with the songs. We'll probably end up buying this one, even though we can get it for free at the library.

Worth the money
This video has several catchy songs that are all educational. For example: alphabet, colors, shapes, days of the week. It looks like it was made in the late 80s based on the outfits, but my 20 month old twins seem to like it. All the songs have a lot of kids doing things so I think that is what keeps their attention. I feel like it was worth the money.

very disappointed
I bought this video for my 1.5 year old daughter who picks up things very quickly. She learned the names and sounds of the alphabet in less than a week from another product, so I wanted to find something that would help her to learn her colors, shapes, and numbers, but I do not see the method of this video being particularly educational. The numbers and colors do appear on the screen, sometimes erratically, while songs are being sung, but the connections do not seem explicit enough to me. This video is good if you want something simple and non-commercial, but I do not think it is all that educational. She has only seen it once, but wasn't that captivated by it anyway. It also seemed unprofessional and very dated. I have a background in developmental psychology and learning from Harvard.

Big disappointment :(
Purchased this dvd based on the reviews on amazon and having the original baby song video. The original was great, this one...not so great. The title leads you to believe that it will teach your child to some degree the shapes, numbers etc..
Not so, the songs touch on the learning angle briefly. The numbers go fast and the performances are quite dull to both my children. My 2 and my 4 year old get mildly entertained by this dvd, MILDLY. The color and shapes performances will not add much learning as they are light in content. At best, the tunes "might" entertain your child while you try to catch up around the house. MAYBE.

A favorite
This is a favorite of my grandchild. She watches it over and over again and never tires of it.

Triplet Mom's LIFESAVER
Ok, to begin with I had no idea who Hap was. I just knew that I didn't want my triplets hooked on broadcast TV stuff that was full of marketing, commercials, etc. So we ordered BabyFirstTV (kinda like HBO for babies) and during the programming they would show these videos. It didn't take long for me to notice that my kids were MESMERIZED by Palmer's music videos. I quickly recognized the prints and hairstyles from my own childhood (80's kid) and went on a search until I found the DVD's here. The kids LOVED them and now that they are almost two they actually ask for them by name. I would HIGHLY recommend these DVD's to anyone who is interested in exposing their children to music, rhyming, social skills, development skills, sillyness and laughter via your DVD player. I am not saying they take the place of actual experiences but they sure do enhance them. You don't know how handy it is to get your triplet toddlers to quickly cooperate and follow instructions by just singing a simple song to them. Anyway, long story short.... WE LOVE HAP PALMER AND THESE DVDs!
