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 It does have some outdated video (lots of early 80's shots if I'm guessing right), but it's more about the music and the children's interactions than the clothes they wear.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.

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!

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 Yes, the songs are a bit corny and the hairstyles and clothes are a bit outdated (which I find endearing in a nostalgic sort of way), but your baby or toddler is sure to adore it.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!

Hap Palmer is very talented and has been writing kids songs at least since the mid-70's (my sister got one of his cassettes while in college getting a degree in elem. education). All 3 of my kids have loved his videos. But his best are Baby Songs (his first one) and More Baby Songs. This one is good but the others are better.

I received this as a hand-me-down in vhs format from a family member for my 4-month old twins. It was a HIT!! My girls will watch the video from their seats. Both children have peacefully fallin asleep to this video. Dont expect to enjoy the video for yourself ..but if your like me and need a moment to get some things done, definitely give it a try.

My daughter loves this video. She asks for it all the time. We don't let her watch a lot of TV but this is a great video. I think it's great that it shows kids dressing up in any season clothes - so what if your kid does that? That's what being a kid is all about. I do wonder about the finger foods segment, but my daughter has never once imitated it. I wonder if anyone's kids have ever imitated it? Anyone?

I think it's a very sensitive video. I give my daughter credit to know that a monkey is not going to come into our house and throw food around. She knows this is just an entertaining video. I think she has been inspired by it to want to dress herself. And I think she likes watching the real people in it do real things. There are many races represented in the film, and there are some disabled kids as well.

I'm buying some other Hap Palmer DVDs for her. I do recommend this one.

My daughter loves this DVD. We have to play it for her at least once a day. It keeps her interest every time and gives me time to get dinner on the table.

We have yet to find a Hap Palmer product that we don't like and this is no exception. We bought this for our 2 year old daughter, after having the Original Baby Songs DVD for months. She liked the Original so much that we figured Baby's Busy Day would be a big hit with her too and it has been. She has enjoyed it just as much as the Original... and so has our 5 year old. Similar to the Original Baby Songs, Baby's Busy Day is filled with simple, catchy and easy to learn songs. We hear our girls singing them often throughout the day.

Although, I'm not sure the song "Finger Foods" taught our two year old the correct message with high chair etiquette and ever since watching the video of this song, she has been happily plunging her fingers into various foods and smearing it everywhere. It doesn't help matters that our 5 year old sings the song for her which only encourages more mess. She has received the right message with the song "I Can Put My Clothes on By Myself" and sings it every morning while getting herself dressed. Overall, it is a fun and simple DVD and we would recommend it. Our girls have thoroughly enjoyed watching the videos and singing all the songs.

It took Mommy awhile to get used to the 'Country' flavor of the songs - which are fun, with a bit of a twang. But my girls loved this video from the first. When other video's left them cold, they would run over to the set to watch the children on this tape sing along with Hap.

This video is very cute. My 2 yr old granddaughter loves singalongs. My only complaint is that the case was damaged. I'm just glad the DVD was in workable condition, I didn't want to try to send it back for exchange, sometimes returning things turns into a bigger ordeal than its worth.
