Brainy Baby - Animals

Amazon.com

Created by specialists in early childhood education, this Brainy Baby presentation encourages cognitive development by capitalizing on babies' and toddlers' fascination with farm animals and the sounds they make. Baby Animals features quick-paced, real-life photography of young children interacting with animals intermixed with brief animation and more lengthy informational segments about animals in six categories: Horns, Hooves, and Hides; Fins and Flippers; Furry Faces; Beautiful Bugs; Wonderful Wings; and Unusual Animals. Close-up photography of individual animals abounds, and brief descriptions of each animal's most striking feature and its function answer questions like "why are a flamingo's feathers pink?" Friendly voices and upbeat music accompany the onscreen action. Supplemental DVD features include a textual parent's guide, a storybook with onscreen words and pictures, a quiz about animal habitats, a music video sing-along of "Old MacDonald," baby bloopers, previews of other Brainy Baby productions, DVD-ROM access to the Brainy Baby Web site, and a printable coloring book.

Poor Quality.......2007-07-18

Yes this show has lots of animals but it is so poorly produced that it is painful for the parents to watch and my child lost interest in this DVD right away. The music is terrible- not classical like you would expect. The music video at the end is terrible.

15 month old loves it........2007-06-21

Brainy Baby - Animals.......2007-02-22

This did not seem like a Brainy Baby DVD. My 13mos old son loves Brainy Baby with the classical music and the cute babies, he loves to comment on the babies and point to teh screen. If you want a DVD with just shots of animals then this is proabably a good movie to get, there were lots of anuimals. But if you're looknig for a good Brainy Baby type DVD, I wouldn't suggest this one.

The next step up after Baby Einstein..........2005-04-17

I decided to order a copy of this DVD when my son was still under a year. It was definitely too advanced for him then, but now at 20 months this is BY FAR his favorite movie. He watches most of the DVD which includes little kids/babies in the intro, Old MacDonalds Farm, an ABC of animals, and sections on different kinds of animal (furry faced animals, animals with fins and flippers, etc. etc.). He has even started answering some of the questions (what animal makes this sound, etc.)--so it's a bit more interactive for him.

This is a great DVD to add when your child is getting too old for the Baby Einstein videos because it offers a lot more information. For example, it gives solid information such as "Did you know a cow has 4 stomachs?" and goes over the names of baby animals and groups of animals.

This definitely gets 5 stars from my son (and me) these days!!

Real, interesting animals.......2005-01-23

My 17-month old son is bored with all the Baby Einstein videos, but he is delighted with this. It's a good mix of animals he recognizes and new or exotic animals. He especially likes the "fins and flippers." I love the real animals and the music is great too. SOME DVDs are ok for infants and toddlers, but bore older preschoolers. This one's good for kids 3-5 too, so big sisters and brothers won't mind sharing the TV as much!
