Singing Babies Nursery Rhyme Time

Babies and young children love it! That's why Singing Babies is now one of the best selling baby videos. It is the most fun and entertaining way to teach your child the classic nursery rhymes! Research shows that babies benefit from watching other babies. Infants learn to talk by studying the sounds and movement made by the human mouth. SINGING BABIES® creatively combines these research findings in a way that accelerates your child's rate of cognitive development, increases capacity to learn language, and enhances your child's natural musical ability.

Real babies--a bit surreal at times--"sing" classic toddler tunes such as "Old MacDonald," "London Bridge," and "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" in this visually intriguing kiddie flick from cocreators Jeff Yonis and Fred Gallo. Through the magic of computerized slicing and dicing, a culturally diverse batch of bouncing babes seem to mouth each lyric, with a full set of teeth, no less. They wear many adorable costumes, appear on creatively designed sets, and play with colorful toys, and when their faces aren't being digitally manipulated, they even look cute. But the odd and often disturbing special effects will give some viewers the willies. Unlike the talking critters in Babe or Stuart Little, these "singing" babies look moon-eyed and emotionless--not a great combination for a sing-along video. Yonis and Gallo claim all sorts of developmental benefits await the young viewer who watches this 30-minute babypalooza. If that's true, then Barney must be the love child of Lamaze and Pavarotti. At least the music variety and execution are pleasant--well, except for that one kid who's painfully tone deaf. Stick with the cassette tape. --Liane Thomas
