Summary: Baby Einstein
Comment: Can't go wrong if your child loves these videos. My grandson watches them over and over and over and over......
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great DVD
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: VERY Artistic
Comment: 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!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Nice art, but otherwise ... Puhleeze!
Comment: 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!

Summary: A good classic puppet format
Comment: 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!

The Baby Einstein Company's "video board books" were designed as music-focused developmental tools to stimulate babies' brains (prompted by research proving that exposure to classical melodies can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory in youngsters). Now the company is expanding into other art forms, including color and art. The idea remains the same--taking bold, beautiful objects (toys, puppets, nature scenes) and setting them to fun renditions of classical music (their recordings are easily the best in the crowded field of child development). A new puppet--Vincent Van Goat--introduces the six primary colors and associates them with Van Gogh's paintings--"The Starry Night" for blue, "Wheat Fields with Reaper" for yellow. The only misstep is the poetry written and read by creator Julie Aigner-Clark, which is strongly reminiscent of Dr. Seuss's My Many Colored Days. The company suggests the program is for toddlers between the ages of 1 and 4. Harsh sounds between segments--such as balloons popping and tires screeching--will draw the attention of youngsters but will probably render the video inappropriate for babes in arms. The video can be purchased by itself or with a beautifully produced 28-page book featuring Van Gogh's paintings, screen shots from the video, and Clark's poems. The combination set may be the best way to engage 3- and 4-year-olds' interest; they can follow along in the text while watching the video. Music includes "The William Tell Overture," "The Blue Danube," "Bolero," and Brahms's "Lullaby." The video also provides information on the cool toys seen in the ending "Toy Chest" segment. --Doug Thomas
