Cute house pets, furry farm dwellers, and plenty of raucous zoo residents earn close-ups in this nicely compiled study of animals; surprisingly, so do a variety of insects and a few fish. But venturing beyond the true definition of Animals is the only minor offense in this volume of Baby's First Impressions, a Parent's Choice Award-winning series of 10 topnotch educational videos. This lesson in animal name and sound recognition begins at the zoo, where the camera zooms in on gorillas, lions, and giraffes; a narrator introduces each animal as upbeat music plays in the background. Sometimes a group of kids will answer the question "What does the (animal on screen) say?" with a practiced "baa," "ruff-ruff," or "cock-a-doodle-doo." After being introduced to each set of animals, viewers are challenged by a guessing game: "What is this animal's name?" asks the narrator, as previously seen footage pops on the screen. Cute kids romping around in animal costumes also add to the flair of this smartly compiled video, whose target audience ranges from 8-month-olds to 5-year-olds. --Liane Thomas

4.0 out of 5 stars Baby's First Impressions - Animals, December 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby's First Impressions, Vol. 6 - Animals [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My 15 month old loves this video and asks to see it every day. She can recognise many different animals now from farm animals to wild animals to birds...she loves the bit where the kids come on and make the animal noises, and copies them jumping like a bunny rabbit, barking like a dog, etc. The first time she saw this video, she didn't appear very interested in it, but the second time she watched it from start to finish. I think it's a great video because it has real animals, pictures of animals, kids dressed as animals, and doesn't just stick to your regular farm/wild animals. The only thing it's lacking is perhaps some animal songs, as kids love music at this age, and it's a shame there isn't anything like that on the video.

I purchased this video for my daughter when she was six months old. Six months later, she's still in love with it and now responds to the kids in the video.

The Baby's First Impression series is very good. I didn't get all of the cassettes, but the best were: Numbers, Letters, Colors and Animals (in that order). This is until the age of two, since I don't know about after that yet.
