Some viewers may remember this set of 10 kid music videos as Even More Baby Songs. The title may have changed, but the whimsically catchy songs from noted children's songsmith Hap Palmer remain. From "Getting Up Time" (farm animals and baby awake making their natural noises, and preschoolers imitate their cries.) to "Goodnight Story Time" (an ode to such storybook favorites as Goodnight Moon and Where the Wild Things Are), the half-hour tape follows the day of a young child. "I Can Put My Clothes On by Myself" is a celebration of the fashion mistakes that can occur when youthful independence is encouraged, while "Finger Foods" is a how-not-to of high-chair etiquette. The most rousing song, "What a Miracle," is a grand sing-along on a farm, with Hap himself at the guitar and an audience of parents and children who act out the lyrics. This video won't change your family's life, but it may inspire a round of intergenerational hide-'n'-go-seek or convince parents to let the kids and the dog take a bath (outside) together. And these are good things. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Triplet Mom's LIFESAVER.......2007-06-03

Ok, to begin with I had no idea who Hap was. I just knew that I didn't want my triplets hooked on broadcast TV stuff that was full of marketing, commercials, etc. So we ordered BabyFirstTV (kinda like HBO for babies) and during the programming they would show these videos. It didn't take long for me to notice that my kids were MESMERIZED by Palmer's music videos. I quickly recognized the prints and hairstyles from my own childhood (80's kid) and went on a search until I found the DVD's here. The kids LOVED them and now that they are almost two they actually ask for them by name. I would HIGHLY recommend these DVD's to anyone who is interested in exposing their children to music, rhyming, social skills, development skills, sillyness and laughter via your DVD player. I am not saying they take the place of actual experiences but they sure do enhance them. You don't know how handy it is to get your triplet toddlers to quickly cooperate and follow instructions by just singing a simple song to them. Anyway, long story short.... WE LOVE HAP PALMER AND THESE DVDs!

BABY SONGS series is AWESOME!.......2007-01-16

Baby Songs Baby's Busy Day is great, quality entertainment for little ones. My twins (girl/boy) are now 17 months old & they have been enjoying this DVD for about 5 months already. They love all the Baby Songs series actually...BS "Original" BS "ABC,123" BS "Animals", etc. I'm not sure exactly why, but the music & the simplistic visuals of the children singing, dancing, and moving about in the video captures their attention completely. I highly recommend this series for parents wanting some good, clean, quality video entertainment for their youngsters. A++++

My 20 month old loves it!.......2006-03-23

My daughter loves this video. She asks for it all the time. We don't let her watch a lot of TV but this is a great video. I think it's great that it shows kids dressing up in any season clothes - so what if your kid does that? That's what being a kid is all about. I do wonder about the finger foods segment, but my daughter has never once imitated it. I wonder if anyone's kids have ever imitated it? Anyone?

I think it's a very sensitive video. I give my daughter credit to know that a monkey is not going to come into our house and throw food around. She knows this is just an entertaining video. I think she has been inspired by it to want to dress herself. And I think she likes watching the real people in it do real things. There are many races represented in the film, and there are some disabled kids as well.

I'm buying some other Hap Palmer DVDs for her. I do recommend this one.

BAD habits and insensitivity in this video.......2005-07-24

Hap's a good guy, no question about that. This is why I'm surprised at a couple of his songs. And the director of this video must not have kids. The song entitled: "Finger Foods" teaches disgusting and horrifically bad habits to kids instantly.
A little girl, too old to be in a high chair, is shown smashing
all kinds of food all over herself while Palmer croons about how this is teaching her about food.(????)My two-and-a-half-year-old
daughter had excellent table manners (better than some 40-year-olds I've met) until she saw this video. And the instant she did,
it was bedlam. It took lots of work to teach her how unacceptable
it is to play with her food and smash it all over the place.
What the director had that kid do was not "cute" in the least
and Palmer's theory that smashing food between fingers before
smearing it into face, arms, hair, etc., is just nuts.

Another song about having arms, legs, hands, feet, a spine,
etc., is insensitive to kids who are handicapped. Because
my husband is in the medical profession and because I've
worked with disabled children and adults for many years,
I cringe when I hear: "Oh, what a miracle am I." -- The song itself is a delight, but ONLY to the lucky ones who are born with no serious imperfections. Too bad this gifted song writer could not find a way to include less fortunate folks in this
song. People rarely think about handicapped kids and adults
unless they have to.

Not that I care to EVER view this video again as long as
I live, it still saddens me to think I could never show
it to some of the human souls I've worked with.

I will not buy any more of this man's work, despite the fact
that I sense he's a good person and obviously very talented.
I am so put off by the unwise decisions illustrated in this
video, I'm just afraid to view anything else. Especially with kids in the room.

He may wish to find a new director, that's for sure.
The production quality was not only not up to par on
several levels, but some truly GOOFY decisions were made
that may have turned not a few folks off completely.

Actually Glorifies Bad Habits!.......2005-04-14

We own the original Baby Songs, and though I think it is very annoying my two-year-old daughter loves it so I think it is a good thing. However, the "green" baby songs, "Baby's Busy Day," has some video clips that are terrible. For example, in one song about "I Can Dress Myself," it shows the kids dressing themselves in winter clothes in the summertime and nothing matches, and it portrays this as good, creative, and humorous. My daughter saw this and went back to her room yelling, "Winter Clothes!" and wanting to do the same thing. Also, there is a video with a Chimp in a high chair throwing food everywhere and of course it is portrayed as amusing. Then there is the song about "Growing" that inexplicably has a freaky clown in it throughout...

The songs are as annoying as any of the other Baby Songs videos, but your kids WILL like them. However, with the videos on this one I cannot recommend it. Buy the original (orange) if you really want to subject yourself to annoying songs that kids will adore and ask you to play all the time, but consider yourself warned on the green one.
