Some viewers may remember this set of 10 kid music videos as Even More Baby Songs. The title may have changed, but the whimsically catchy songs from noted children's songsmith Hap Palmer remain. From "Getting Up Time" (farm animals and baby awake making their natural noises, and preschoolers imitate their cries.) to "Goodnight Story Time" (an ode to such storybook favorites as Goodnight Moon and Where the Wild Things Are), the half-hour tape follows the day of a young child. "I Can Put My Clothes On by Myself" is a celebration of the fashion mistakes that can occur when youthful independence is encouraged, while "Finger Foods" is a how-not-to of high-chair etiquette. The most rousing song, "What a Miracle," is a grand sing-along on a farm, with Hap himself at the guitar and an audience of parents and children who act out the lyrics. This video won't change your family's life, but it may inspire a round of intergenerational hide-'n'-go-seek or convince parents to let the kids and the dog take a bath (outside) together. And these are good things. --Kimberly Heinrichs

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST of the baby songs, October 12, 2004

This review is from: Baby Songs - Baby's Busy Day (DVD)

I don't get it...I just read a review that stated that the Original Baby Songs was better than this one. Whoa...it's not even close in my opinion. I have the Original Baby Songs, Baby 1-2-3, and Baby's Busy Day, and there's just no comparison in my daughter's opinion (and mine as well).

The tunes are just that much "catchier" than the other two. Maybe it's an age issue (my daughter is 13 months), but she must have my tastes because Baby's Busy Day is the only one that immediately gets her attention and puts a smile on her face.

Until about the age of 1, she was most interested in the Baby Einstein movies. But as soon as she turned 1, she got really bored with those. So we bought a 3-pack of Baby Songs and she is hooked. She dances, screams, laughs, and just loves Baby's Busy Day.

I would recommend them all, but without question Baby's Busy Day is an overall much more fun DVD. It does have some outdated video (lots of early 80's shots if I'm guessing right), but it's more about the music and the children's interactions than the clothes they wear.

My only gripe is that the songs are so catchy that I've started humming them at work. You should see the looks I get!

Please, if you're going to try one Baby Songs, make it Baby's Busy Day ~ you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book for a newborn to age 2, July 16, 2000

This review is from: Babysongs - Baby's Busy Day [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My son loved the baby songs videos which he started to "watch" from 4 months on. We would play a video and then put him to sleep in an effort to establish a bedtime ritual for his age. I am sure he did not watch the videos at the beginning; however, he certainly knew the songs and as his speech developed he was able to tell us which song was coming up next. Of course this repetition might drive you crazy as a parent. But babies love repetition. About every 6 months, we introduced him to another Baby Songs video. He loves them. The songs are sweet and the children sing along on many of the tunes. Babies of all ages, shapes and colors are represented. A truly professional movie. My son is almost 4 and has outgrown the baby songs videos, but every once in a while I remind him of the movie he loved as a baby and we both enjoy watching it. Highly, highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Your baby will love it!, March 25, 2004

This review is from: Baby Songs - Baby's Busy Day (DVD)

We have rented this DVD from the library so many times that we now plan to buy our own copy. My 19 month old daughter asks for it by name. Yes, the songs are a bit corny and the hairstyles and clothes are a bit outdated (which I find endearing in a nostalgic sort of way), but your baby or toddler is sure to adore it. Isn't that what really matters? As far as the individual songs are concerned, we do have a few favorites. There is only one song that I usually skip (so easy with the DVD). It is about a rag doll that comes to life and I find the image of her flopping around a little strange. It doesn't seem to bother my daughter a bit. All in all it's a great DVD and I unreservedly give it 5 STARS!
