Product Description

ASIN: B00007J88T DESCRIPTION: From the beach to the bath -- a musical voyage!
-- Introduces babies to the wonders of water
-- Exposes little ones to whales, dolphins, fish, ducks and more

Within a baby's first year of life, new experiences can transform what might otherwise seem to be ordinary events into exciting opportunities for imaginative play. Baby Neptune exposes little ones to the wonders of water in their world -- whether they're stomping in the rain, splashing in the bathtub, playing "catch me if you can" with the tide on the beach, or "meeting" the fascinating creatures that live in rivers, lakes and oceans. Overflowing with captivating undersea footage and live-action visuals of delightful puppet shows, toys, and happy children, this fun-filled exploration of "water, water everywhere" also features the Water Music of George Frideric Handel to accompany you and your little one on your own interactive voyage of discovery!

There's no denying a youngster's attraction to water, and the folks at Baby Einstein tap into that natural interest--and broaden it. They take babies and toddlers from bathtime to the beach, from tap water to waterfalls and geysers. A puppet octopus and duck serve as guides through clearly labeled sections: Ocean, Rivers and Lakes; Rain Drops and Puddles; Water at My House. A child speaks the title at the beginning and end of each unit, but those are the only words in this 24-minute "video board book." The rest of the sounds come courtesy of Handel, Telemann, Beethoven, and Johann Strauss. Both toy animals and real ones swim through the scenes and the footage of dolphins, sea turtles, and marina fish are fascinating enough that preschoolers won't mind sitting in with younger siblings.

Why would you use all the languages in one track? - Reviewed on 2008-10-02

Too confusing. I thought this dvd would have a spanish track where it woul go through all the attractions in that language and not just combine the whole thing. I would not recommend this dvd, there are better dvds that baby einstein has. Don't buy this one.
I don't understand what is this Video all about - Reviewed on 2008-09-25

What is this video suppose to be? Images and text don't even connect, it does not catches babies interest... If you want to start your baby with a foreign language you should better try Little Pim series which both catches the baby's attention and is of great educational quality.Little Pim: 3-Disc Gift Set (Spanish)Little Pim: 3-Disc Gift Set (Mandarin Chinese)Little Pim: 3-Disc Gift Set (French)

Your child would love watching this video, but she'd also love eating cotton candy and drinking grape soda. Many pediatric and psychological studies have shown that young children know FEWER words for every hour they spend watching videos like this one. Why? Because they aren't spending time with YOU, practicing their language and social skills. There's also evidence that young children who watch TV have a greater risk of developing ADHD. Last, toddlers who grow up in homes with the TV always on in the background literally seem to have more trouble hearing themselves think. This hurts their developing linguistic abilities and consequently their abilities to engage silent reasoning.

Please protect your child -- don't let her watch any TV during her early, crucial, developmental years. We only watch TV when our little girl is asleep.

Do a little research on this and you'll be glad you didn't buy this video.

Help make bathtime more fun! - Reviewed on 2008-04-03

My 6 month old son has been watching this video on and off for 2 months and LOVES it. I honestly think he loves bathtime more since his introduction to water on the video.

There is a good balance of puppets, real video and animation. Another good Baby Einstein video!
