- Baby Genius Favorite Nursery Rhymes Music

Visiting my 22mo old grand-daughter in Rio, Brazil. Let me just say that THIS is the BEST toddler nursery rhymes collection. The DVD, in particular, is so well done! Has cute little children, ages 3 and up (would like to seen a few toddlers). Maybe Farmer in the Dell, I would have scripted characters to the song. And I couldn't make the connection with the trains on London Bridge. Maybe it's just me not knowing the true story. All in all, the DVD is so nearly perfect. Our little girl sings and dances to all the songs. She's tryng to say the words to "Ring"Around the Rosey" and has "picked up" many of the letter sounds on "A, B, C" song. And it is really good for GamGam's conditioning, as on several songs, my grand daughter commands me to hold her and dance around with her. "Ring Around Rosey"is a workout!!! Must have for all toddlers! Unless you don't wish for them to sing and dance.

My 22 month old daughter loves this video. There is a cute song that teaches numbers 1-10. In less than one week she began saying and "Recognizing" each number individually which is awesome. She has also learned to recognize her alphabet by watching this video. She mostly enjoys singing and dancing to the nursery rhymes. She watches it over and over! This is a great supplement to Baby Einstein videos because its a little more fun and interactive. Special Note: we us a old portable dvd player that we keep on the coffee table so that she can sit in her own chair and watch her videos while we watch "regular tv"...It keeps her busy while my husband and I enjoy our favorite shows...

My 10 month old absolutely loves this. I never thought I could get him to sit still and watch anything for more than 5 minutes. But he sits still and watches the entire DVD at one go without blinking or complaining. Can you imagine how much work I get done in that much time! Whew! Its surprizingly not animated, its with real children and animals. There are animated parts to it of course but its still mostly real children and animals. I absoltely love the bonus video of No more monkeys jumping on the bed, it has a very fun rock twist to it. I didnt get the bonus CD though when I purchased it.

I know people don't like babies to watch TV, but I've got twins and sometimes I just need something to distract one or both for 20 minutes... and this DVD is great. I've had it since they were 3 months old (now 5 months), and they'll sit in their bouncy seats or on the play mat, and play and watch the whole thing. They love the songs and pictures of kids and animals. I like that it's got some animation and some live action parts. Feature: There is a "repeat play" option that I use, so that if I'm not in the room at the end, it just loops around to the intro again. Note: the songs aren't Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes like I had thought. It's Old McDonald, Apples and Bananas, London Bridge, ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle, etc.

This DVD has been such a blessing! My twins love all the Nursery Rhymes and Visuals. They have been watching this since they were months old and I always played this when they were being difficult to manage or on long trips. It distracts them and calms them instantly. Now that they are older and can talk a bit, they ask for Baby Genius by name. They know some of the words to the rhymes just by watching it many times and they enjoy dancing to the music. It is upbeat but not too loud or insane. The quality of music and sound is excellent. This DVD has not failed us, so I am giving it the five stars that it deserves and highly recommend it to anyone. I have given it to friends who had babies and they have told me that their babies love it too.

My daughter just turned 9 months old. We got this video when she was 8 months old and started it then. She is GLUED to this dvd. She usually doesnt watch tv. Nothing usually can keep her interest. She is a very happy and hyper baby but when this movie is on she goes into this daze... She dances and laughs and smiles. She learned to clap and wave from dvd also. Its incredible how only about 2 weeks of watching this video can help her to develop so well. Im very impressed with this dvd. I wish Baby Geinus made more nursery rhymes.... We highly recommend this video to all parents looking for an entertaining, yet learning movie for their children.

I bought this after I felt that my daughter needed some musical DVD's to keep herself amused and busy. However at the same time I also wanted it to be educational. I had read reviews about the DVD before buying and a parent had mentioned the disconnect between the graphics and the wording of the rhymes. Even though that parent was right, I don't think that it's such a big deal for a 17 month old. They are gripped by the music, kids, animals and animations in the DVD rather than the exact tying of pictures with the wording. We as adults might be more disturbed by it however since I don't intend to or recommend using it as a teaching tool for your child where you would sit, pause and tell the child what they are looking it, it really doesn't matter. There are other DVD's structured for that. My daughter loves it, she is engaged by it and is trying to say the words that she has been repetitively hearing. However I must caution all parents that these DVD's have an addictive potential. My daughter wants to watch it all the time. She even tries to put it in the DVD player by herself!!! My advice, stay in control and don't give more than a designated time per day. Also don't use these DVD's to replace your time and attention that your child is entitled to. I often watch it WITH her and dance and sing along. I recently went to my daughter's music class with her and felt like a proud mom when I knew most of the rhymes due to this DVD!! Great buy; enjoy it with your child.

Love it! Ho comprato altri cd di inglese x mio figlio ma questo è il migliore! Il cd in realtà è un bonus che é arrivato insieme al dvd . Ci piace molto anche il dvd perché nelle canzoni ci sono animali e bambini reali (nn cartoni animati). Mio figlio di 18 mesi inizia a ballare appena lo sente/ vede. Lo consiglio !

The DVD looks awful but the CD is great - love to have it on when we have breakfast.

My daughter loves this so much that she plays it atleast ones a day!!!

Although I have gotten sick of watching this DVD, it was the perfect buy for my 19-month old son. He absolutely loves it! He can't get enough of it. It's not as well-made as a Baby Einstein production, but it definitely accomplishes the distraction you're looking for. It doesn't "teach" as much as B.E., but my son still picked up words and actions. It's also nice to see him enjoying the nursery rhymes that I grew up with. It has all the classics and a bonus CD with even more songs. For the price, it is well worth it.

My little 4 month old has been watching this DVD for a few weeks now and seems to really enjoy it. I like that it has the alphabet song and also teaches numbers - a great learning tool to get her familiar with numbers and letters at such a young age!
