Baby Genius 8 Pack

I bought this set because I needed some supplemental exposure to Spanish (other than myself and a few friends from South America) for my four-month-old son. I had bought the numbers dvd earlier, and it is excellent. My 4-month-old son loves all the videos and gets a huge grin when the DJ and Vinko characters in their big puffy suits come on the screen. I like the real action and animals and video - It shows him parts of the real world that he doesn't get to see every day. The Spanish is very good, native speakers and/or imperceptible accents. A few of the translations could be better (more clever or rhyming), but that is really difficult when you are trying to translate English children's songs that rhyme or have a rhythm. All in all, they are a great buy, and for a great price.

I just love how they use the real classical music. Not the ones played by keyboard that you can listen on Baby Einstein products. My boys ages 3 1/2 and 5 grew up watching Animal Adventures and A Trip to the San Diego Zoo. They still love to watch them. It's filled with wonderful video clips of all kinds of animals and great music. I play the music in the car and at night. My boys actually love to listen to classical music and understand how the composers try to draw images in listeners' minds through music. They also love the songs with baby genius characters.My boys also love the Favorite songs & rhymes DVD's. They're such a great 'music video' for kids. The CD's also have many bonus songs we love to listen to.I now have a 5 mo old baby. I just got this 8 pack and love every one of them! He gets to grow up with all 8!!! He already watches few minutes every now and then and he goes to sleep at night with the classical music.I think the quality of this DVD & CD combo far exceeds other similar products in the market. I wish they had 6 stars!This 8 pack is such a great deal!It includes:Animal AdventuresA trip to the San Diego ZooMozart and FriendsMozart and Friends SleepytimeThe Four SeasonsUnderwater AdventuresFavorite Nursery RhymesFavorite Children's Songs

All 8 of the cases where broken and the cd's where scratched. The box the product was shipped in was to small for the contence and the proper amount of air pillows. The put four air pillows on one side of the product with Nothen around the other three sides just the box it was shipped in.

Baby Einstein is much better! The only CD which is good is the one with fav. kids songs... the rest have beautiful images, but they are boring for toddlers.

The Package Was Recieved On Time...It Was A Gift And The Four Seasons Dvd Was Missing...Not Too Happy About That...

My twin toddlers are really enjoying this set of videos, especially 'Favorite Nursery Rhymes' and 'Favorite Children's Songs.' At first we were all disappointed because the reviews had described them as being like Baby Einstein videos "but much cheaper". Well we only own 1 Baby Einstein video, but my twins LOVE it: it has talking, puppets, sign language, kids, adults, etc. With this Baby Genius set, 6 of the 8 videos do not have any talking/singing, but only the visuals and classical music in the background. It took my twins awhile to adjust to that difference, but now they are really enjoying all the videos. The two "Favorite" videos have singing & dancing and it completely engages them! I would definately recommend this as a good bang-for-your-buck purchase.

Not the best film-making quality, but I guess you have to understand the audience these cater to... The "Nursery rhymes" and "Children's songs" are the only two discs that really kept our kids mesmerized. All the others seemed boring, so if you can find those two separately, I'd go for those.

My son is now 15 mon. old. He got the nursery rhymes dvd as a gift last christmas. We would play it for him everyday!! He just loves it. He will sit and watch the whole thing over and over again. Also an added plus is that i can then get my "chores" done around the house. He now trys to sing along and he dances to the music, it is very cute. Anytime he is upset or bored we put in the dvd and he gets soooo excited. He has watched it so many times i am worried it might stop working, then we would be in real trouble, haha. Anyway great learning tool for babies of all ages!!!
