| I bought this video because I'm working with my son to try to get him to start saying some words. This video got great review, thus being the reason for my purchase of this specific product. It was so boring that it put my son to sleep! We watched it after he had gotten up from his nap, actually. It's no better than Baby Einstein - which is a great concept for the little ones - but not good for toddlers. My son can communicate very well receptively, which might be the reason for him not having any interest in this video. We bought a Baby Babble video which seemed to engage him much better. |

"Brainy baby are excellent educational dvds" | 2008-07-21 |

| Brainy Baby dvd are not as popular as Baby Einstein, of course Baby Einstein are from Disney, so more money is spent on advertisement; im my home, Brainy Baby dvds have been much more effective in teaching my children. The programming is of good quality and my children learned not only what the dvds taugh, but also how to read the words for every concept taught (my six year old was reading the brainy baby words by age 2yrs, 3mos, my four year old by age 1yr, 11mos, I now have a nine month old, lets see... |

I think these are probably a little better made then the baby einstein videos however my active 2 year old wouldn't watch more than 5 minutes of this at a time. It just couldn't hold his attention. We also just bought The Leap Frog Letters DVD and he is actually really enjoying that one. |

"not the best from brainy baby" | 2008-03-18 |

This is alot like flash cards on TV. I sit with my twins while watching this talking about it with them, about 2/3 thru the dvd we all are ready to goudge our eyes out. It gets irritating very fast imo. Some kids and parents may really like this dvd, it just didn't fly at our house.
I (we) do very much like the 2 other Brainy Baby dvds we have : ). |

| Ok I have to say this is one of the best. I have a couple of the Baby Einstein DVD's for this age group and my son who is 28 months loves this Brainy Baby DVD. He'll look through all of our DVD's for it and pop it into the DVD player on his own and start watching it. He'll repeat about everything that they try to teach like with the numbers, colors, and words. The only draw back is that it's kind of long for a two year old. It's 45 min. He'll watch it for about 15 min, then he may go off and do something else and while it's still playing, he'll come back to the tv to start watching it again. All in all, this is a great educational DVD. Must have! Hey for the younger babies too; I have a 5 month old that loves classical baby by HBO, my 2 year old, loves that DVD too. |

I have a few Baby Einstein DVDs, but I favor the idea of having a narrator explain the objects and actions on these Brainy Baby DVDs because it provides not only a visual representation, but a verbal one as well.
I currently own Brainy Baby Left Brain, Right Brain, Art, and English. I purchased these when my daughter was about 9 months old. She is now 14 months and has started clearly verbalizing since she turned 12 months. She is pointing to objects around her and saying many of the words in these shows, particularly from Brainy Baby English.
This DVD reinforced the learning of her body parts, shapes, colors, animals, and more. I couln't be more satisfied. I also purchased this for less at deepdiscountdvd with no tax and free shipping. |

"Excellent Video - Highly Recommend!!" | 2005-11-20 |

I have 18 month-old twin boys who are just beginning to talk and communicate with us. There are a few other videos (DVD's) out there for 'first words', but this has been the most complete. Not only does it cover a lot of common words, but it also teaches some concepts like (put on or pushing something).
The boys really do like watching the real people and objects in each scene, and they appear to be taking everything in.
I am not what you would consider a 'flash card mother', but I do appreciate constructive entertainment. This seems to really help both of them with their communication. |

| My two year old is speech delayed and I purchased this video along with Brainy Baby ABC's. He loves it! I hear him imitating and saying the words and as a parent I am pleased to give him a break from the puppet based shows. I love puppet based shows just like he does but he doesn't miss them at all in this video. Looking forward to buying more....much better results and attention than Baby Einstein or Baby Bach. Two thumbs up!!! |

"One Year Old Loves Learning With This DVD" | 2005-01-03 |

| My 12 month old loves Baby Einstien, but I wanted something a bit more educational. She has just begun to say a few words, and I want to help her vocabulary along. So I got this DVD, not sure it could interest her as much as Baby Einstien, since it is so much more educational. She loves it! She is equally, if not more, fascinated by this video than she is by the Baby Einstien movies. As an adult, it looks pretty dull to me, and there are no "cute puppets" or anything like that-just spoken words accompanied by images. But she finds it very exciting, and she loves to laugh at it and try to repeat some of the words. It teaches by repetition (each word repeated three times with three different pictures) and by asking questions that again repeat the words (How many books? One book...). The DVD covers parts of the body, colors, numbers up to ten, some other basic words (like book, balloon, mommy, daddy) and concepts like please and thank you. It also includes a rocking song version of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" which my tot likes to dance to. The DVD contains question and answer flash cards (Where is the balloon-with four picture options) that will be great to use as a learning tool when she is older. (Actually, she likes looking at the pictures now, she just can't pick much out.) The only quibble I have with this video is that the narrator sometimes says, "Very Good" or "That's Right" after asking a question, which is very unhelpful if your child answered it wrong! That should have been left out altogether-let the parents do the positive reinforcement where appropriate. |
