Baby's First Sounds: Discoveries for Little Ears

This is the only dvd of all the Baby Einstein DVDs I own, that my son will watch again and again. He has watched this from 3 months old and it still holds his attention at 19 months old. I remember thinking that I wished I had another one like it so that I could play something else he would like just as much. I purchased it after visiting my sister who owned this, and this allowed us a little time to do other things while my nephew and my son watched it over and over. I couldn't say that about any other dvd at that time. I think people who are confused by the many languages are confused, but I don't think the babies are confused at all. I normally don't even write reviews on products I have purchased as it is very time consuming, but felt the need because of the negative reviews. All babies are different. My other friend recommended the World Animals one, and my son couldn't care less about that one. Oh well, live and learn with your little one.

I was hesitant to purchase this DVD for my daughter based on the poor ratings that reviewers provided. Boy, am I glad I did NOT get sway by these reviews!!! My daughter has all the Baby Einstein DVDs and she loves this DVD!!! This DVD is very well done. It is colorful, rich with real life human interaction scenes, tastefully animated with the various Baby Einstein characters, and teaches much more than just single syllable sounds. The song "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" is sung in various languages throughout the video. Segments of the DVD contains scenes spoken in languages other than English but it is quite obvious what is being identified or spoken. The introduction of language is wonderful as it exposes children to different tones and inflection. You will not be disappointed with this DVD purchase!!!

Grandson likes it.

My baby is only 7 weeks old, but I thought you can never be too young to start hearing your first sounds. The DVD is entertaining even to me with the vivid array of colors, sounds, and characters. The fast pace ensures that your child doesn't get bored while the various approaches to the sound education are fun. These different methods include real life children playing, puppets, toys, and animation. It's a lot of fun and very interesting. As my son gets older, I know it will keep him entertained and help him learn. I fully expect that he will begin saying his first sounds much sooner than the average baby because of this video!

My daughter loved it this is a traditional DVD I actually had for my first daughter who is now nine and I now have an almost 2-year-old daughter in this Was used when she was 6 months-1 year old and sometimes now she currently watches it Great learning for toddlers and baby’s

I read the reviews on this DVD and wasn't sure, but took a chance. There are good Baby Einstein DVDs, and not so good ones. Having tried several with my daughter for variety, this one is actually her third favorite, after Beethoven abd Language Nursery! It combines introducing new sounds with a variety of languages. Since I am trying to make sure my baby hears some foreign languages regularly, this was a goot fit for my little talker. Now, some of the words they introduce are more designed to fit the visual images the writers/producers wanted to include. For example, for the syllable "ma" they do Mama, and marionette. Now get real, what baby will say marionette. But beyond this I have no complaints.

I have a toddler who has watched it since 6 months old. Even my 12 years old daughter still watches it. I think it has soothing sounds and fun puppets.

My sons LOVES LOVES the puppets and when they makes the 'sounds' in this video. He gets a big kick out of hearing the monkeys go 'E-e-e-e' for the 'E' sound, and the sheep going 'baa' for the 'B' sounds. He giggles throughout this video.My pet peeves with it though- My son has learned NO sounds by watching this video, even with me trying to reinforce the sounds.- Mix of languages. Spanish, French, English and I think Mandarin (not sure though).- The stories are cute, but after watching this DVD atleast 40 times, I still don't understand what is being said (as the stories are in French, Spanish, etc) except knowing the story is either Little Miss Muffet, Little Bo Peep...Don't expect you child to pick up on any words from watching this. The puppets and the sounds are absolutely cute though. My son has picked up words like 'Hi' and 'Cat' from us actually READING a book to him and pointing at the pictures.
