Expressive faces and the exploration of arms, legs, and other body parts simply fascinate babies and toddlers. From Head to Toe focuses in on eyes, ears, hands, and other appendages with rapidly changing, close-up photography of real-life children alternating with puppetry, toys, animals, and sculptures and paintings by famous artists. Accompanying the vivid images are whimsical versions of classical pieces by famous composers like Bach, Handel, and Corelli, made kid-friendly by the "Music Box Orchestra," as well as the traditional "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." Baby Einstein videos are famous for this tried-and-true format that appeals to the limited attention span of very young viewers while encouraging cognitive development--the visual mix and pace in this presentation are especially effective. DVD features include language tracks in English, Spanish, and French; pictorial discovery cards with written and spoken words; an exploration of the five senses; puppet segments excerpted from the show; a read-aloud version of the book Mimi's Toes; and a listing of featured toys.

Educational.......2007-06-09

I have to admit the Baby Einstein movies are a little brain-numbing for adults, but after a recommendation from a friend I purchased this one. I don't much care to watch it but my 17-month old, who won't sit still for 1 minute, sits through this video. After only watching it three times she knew all of the body parts they go through in this movie. I'd highly recommend it. Even my 5-year old seems to like it.

Baby Da Vinci.......2007-05-22

Of the six Baby Einstein DVDs that I own (the others being Mozart, Bach, Galileo, Monet, and Van Gogh) this one is arguably the most educational. It correlates pictures of various body parts (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, face, hands, feet) with the appropriate word in 3 languages, and my 10-month old daughter enjoys watching it. The puppet work is alright, although not as good as the puppet work in Baby Monet. In the bonus material, the story about the monkey getting a bath is a nice touch. Unfortunately, there is a part on the Spanish track when the woman says "el agua es tibia", instead of "el agua está tibia". This is a blatant error in Spanish; the difference between the verbs "ser" and "estar" is one of the first things taught in the first year of high school Spanish. Indeed, the entire story is a very poor translation of the English track; it sounds as if someone who doesn't know Spanish translated each word individually using a dictionary.

Daughter likes it !.......2007-04-07

This is our #2 favorite Baby Einstein tapes/DVD. Daughter likes to follow along but does not absorb it all like our #1 pick "wordsworth" but it is good enough.

Great!.......2007-03-25

My son loves this dvd. He started watching it around 9 mths, and still watches it today at 20 mths. He loves the "head, shoulders, knees, and toes" song! Great dvd for learning parts of the body.
