When Baby Einstein started its "video board books" in 1997, the company was virtually alone in the field of baby development. By its sixth video, the field has become crowded with similar-sounding titles. Now scientists might be able to analyze what a baby will get out of a video like Baby Dolittle compared to Baby Van Gogh, but is it worth getting more baby videos? Absolutely--babies love variety as much as their adult counterparts. On that level, Baby Dolittle scores. The theme of animals is a natural, and this show should cause squeals of delight from little ones 1 to 4 years old. Using a stimulating mix of brightly colored toys, whimsical puppets (including your host, Pavlov the Dog), and lots of pictures, Baby Dolittle takes the viewer on a 30-minute tour of commonly found animals. Help your little pal spot a pig on the farm or a dog in the house. Baby Dolittle uses animals' sounds, kids' drawings, and photography for each animal in four habitats. The natural settings and original, bright recordings of Beethoven, Rimsky-Korsakov, Vivaldi, and others should make this a favorite every time you want to visit Old MacDonald's Farm. Followed by a companion production, Baby Dolittle World Animals. --Doug Thomas

 Wonderful November 29, 2009
Raea Soliel (Jacksonville, Fl)
I purchased this DVD for my niece who was nine months at the time and is now (1) one and she loves it. I will be purchasing other products like this. The characters and music seemed to memorize my niece. When she started watching the video for the first time the first word she repeated was Cat and the DVD was on replay and rewind after that.
Keeps our 6 month old happy & quiet October 13, 2009
Joeann Comunale (Roseto, PA USA)
Our 6 month old will sit and watch this dvd on repeat for at least an hour. He loves it! Helps us get things done around the house without having to constantly occupy him. Thank you Baby Einstein.
 Not a good idea September 24, 2009

Parents please be aware that the fact is The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under two be kept away from screen media. These products are claiming benefits that are utterly unfounded.
Also know that many studies show that the more television children under five watch the less likely they are to engage in creative play. (DVDS being basically the same thing).
Dimitri Christakis the director of the Child Health Institute at the University of Washington quoted in the book Parenting Inc, states: "Based on the research I have done there is reason to believe these products (DVDs for babies and toddlers) have a deleterious (negative) effect on the developing mind" , "TV, DVDS and video games condition the developing brain to expect a very high, unnatural level of input. Real life by comparison becomes boring".
Another quote, again from Parenting Inc." "There is no research to show that watching a screen is beneficial to a baby in any way, educational or otherwise. If anything it may be putting babies at risk" "A two dimensional screen can never replace a real environment, rich in all five senses. Holistic play is what develops the all the pathways to the brain." Alvin Poussaint, child psychiatrist and director of the Media Center of Judge Baker's Children Center in Boston.
Please think twice about buying DVDS for a baby or toddler. Do the research, it's not a good idea. Stick to the old fashioned toys that engage kids in creative play - blocks, balls etc.
Einstein Neighborhood Animals September 10, 2009
Sandra Walker (Rock Hill, SC)
My granddaughter did not care for this too much at first.She now will try to talk at the things on the screen and she will laugh out loud at some. It was in good shape and arrived in record time. It was worth the price paid to watch my baby enjoy it. Thank you so much.
Great DVD!!! August 16, 2009
Mara Douvris (Schaumburg, IL)
We absolutely love this Baby Einstein DVD. My mother-in-law had bought a box set of Baby Einstein DVD's for my first daughter. She really wasn't interested in any of the movies except Neighborhood Animals and World Animals. She would watch them over and over again. They kept her interest no matter how many times she watched. She actually liked watching them until she was pushing 4 years old. My second daughter, who is now 16 months, has had no interest in watching anything on TV. She is also a baby that does not talk much and tends to be rather quiet. We still had the Baby Einstein DVD's so we tried some. She absolutely loves the Neighborhood Animals and World Animals. It is the only thing she has ever watched on TV. She gets so excited when we turn it on and she 'talks' to the animals on the TV, imitates sounds, and is now trying to say the animal names. She loves the DVD so much she actually will bring us the remote and point to the TV or she'll bring us the DVD box to tell us she wants to watch. The movie has great music, simple graphics, and adorable puppets. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a toddler.
