The fourth "video board book" from the Baby Einstein folks is their most engaging product yet. Aimed at slightly older audiences (ages 1 to 4), Baby Shakespeare combines poetry with the usual mix of festive classical music, bright objects, and happy thoughts designed to stimulate young minds. This video is aimed at exposing little tykes to the language context. Twelve words (grass, tree, etc.) are explored in pictures and poem form with plenty of playful stops for kids singing their ABC's and close-ups of brightly colored toys in action. Older kids can follow the poetry in a beautiful enclosed picture book of poem text and sharp outdoor photography. We even meet Baby Einstein's first host: a dragon puppet named Bard, who (along with his friends) playfully participates in the action. He deserves a repeat performance. --Doug Thomas

Awesome!!!.......2007-03-23

We absolutely love this video. I love that it combines actual speaking along with music. My boys, now 2, both can recite some of the poems. It has always captured their attention and kept them occupied. While I am not a huge fan of videos for babies, I make an exception for this one. It is mildly education but loads of fun. I definitely recommend this video!!!

Baby Shakespeare.......2007-02-19

Wonderful DVD with lots of information for my 14 month old. He absolutely loves these movies and actually will repeat what they are saying. I don't feel guilty having him watch these over and over because he learns while being entertained.

Confusing content, uneven audio.......2007-02-12

The visuals are entertaining for very young children because there is a lot of movement and vibrant colors, but the arrangement of scenes is jumbled and unrelated. Much better editing is necessary. I don't know where Shakespeare comes into the mix for the very young children. The most irritating aspect of this DVD is the uneven audio. The volume often changes from scene to scene which requires constant adjustment. It seems as if whoever finished the entire piece simply cobbled together all the various parts without thought to continuity.

Useful only as pretty images.......2007-01-17

I bought this at a consignment store for 2 dollars, and that was more than it was worth. Usually I've purchased used BEs becasue they have nice shots of animals, though I am constantly amazed at how they claim to be educational when they are so poorly designed. The design of this DVD reflects exceptionally inadequate understanding of how infants acquire language. Words are introduced by showing parts of objects that would be difficult for a baby to identify (such as bits of an object shown through a camera lens, or showing toys that look minimally like the animal/object), they are presented in such a way that it is sometimes difficult to determine which object in the shot is the one that goes with the word, and most importantly they don't pair the spoken word with the images. How is this supposed to be 'from a baby's perspective' as they tout, when they have clearly little grasp of how to make something accessable to a developing mind? Not to mention that babies and young children don't understand figurative language (like metaphor) so exposing them to adult poetry seems more geared towards parental egos than anything else.

Helps Child learn to Keep Focus.......2007-06-06

The creators of these DVD's have done their homework. They really must have studied how to keep the child focused. Excellent!

Entertaining and educational.......2005-04-03

We have the Baby Einstein Gift Pack volume 1, that includes 4 tapes - Baby Bach, Baby Newton, Baby Shakespeare and the Language Nursery. It has been a month since my 10 month old daughter started watching these. In fact, her TV time every day is pretty much just the Baby Einstein video time. She started out plainly surprised and it was not clear how she felt about them. Now she is much much more expressive...she loves them! She is actually seeing a lot of things that I teach her using a book. I think her reaction to the different moving colors, shapes and objects is very much along the lines of what effect it was intended to generate in a baby. I watch it with her every time and use it as a tool to teach her a lot of common things. Baby Newton and Baby Shakespeare are very educational. Baby Bach is a delight to watch for her and she particularly enjoys the music. However we did not quite relish the Language Nursery. For babies and kids, I think it is a little too early to hear so many confusing foreign noises, when they are actually still trying to communicate using one or may be two languages . Also, some videos overuse a few toys. There is a repetitive display of certain unappealing toys. Watching my daughter watch it every day, I am convinced that it is worth every penny. I would strongly recommend it to any parent who would like to teach and have some fun TV time with his/her baby.

baby mind catching.......2005-03-17

My son absolutely loves the baby einstein videos. I'm so glad that they have come out with some wonderful toys and such for little minds to expand. They are without a doubt awesome. I recommend them to everyone. Even those of my friends that don't have babies yet!

My kids loved them! .......2004-12-16

Even I watch! Kids love to see moving toys, bright colors, sound effects, and hear music. Not so impressed with some of the newer ones like Doolittle, and he one with the computer graphics turns me off, but the kids like it. I also bought the Speech Therapy Home Practice Videos Series: R Words All AroundUs, S Words All Around Us, and Vocabulary All Around Us - great for speech therapy practice!

Somewhat Disappointed...........2004-06-17

Neither of my kids seem to be remotely interested in any of the Baby Einstein DVDs. To me, they seem strange and almost like brain-washing. I think we'll stick to Disney and the like.

The product was fine but the contents in the box where different DVDs than what was described/pictured on the outside of the box. Even the puppet that was included showed it was supposed to be a Giraffe but was actually a another creature. There was nothing wrong with it but it was strange.
