I'm happy to correct Henry III - PraiseBaby DVDs are *not* learning development tools. They never claim to be. But since day 1 (I speak figuratively) my son Kenny - since two months old and well on up to his current fourteen months - has been enraptured with the colours and the children and the music and the animals of the PraiseBaby DVDs. They're doing what's ultimately important in the lives of our children - instilling a passion for God's creation and by extension a passion for God himself. As important as learning development is, it's a moot point if a child is not learning about our Saviour, which is taught in every PraiseBaby DVD. My Kenny takes a PraiseBaby DVD over Baby Einstein any day of the week and I'm glad of it.

This is a wonderful dvd for children with relaxing, beautifully sung music that is a great switch from the average children's dvd that can be annoying to adults nearby. It has a great calming effect on children as well as caregivers with Christian lyrics and simple grachics. I heard it first in our church's nursery... LOVE IT!!!

Loving this DVD! I picked it up for my 18 month old daughter awhile ago, and finally sat down and watched it last month. She cuddled up in my lap, leaned her head back, and just watched the show, while I snuggled her and sang. My girl is a sweet angel (aren't they all?), but she is NOT a cuddler!

She kept pointing to the visuals, particularly the babies and children and asking me something in her gobbledy-gook language, and we had a grand time just sitting, listening, singing, talking, and spending time together while praising God. Couldn't ask for a better moment in life!

We now watch it several times a week, particularly when she's too wound up and it's time to settle down for bed, and I get the same reaction every time.

Now, while I love the visuals (simple, clean, fun) and the music (great vocalist...nice backing kid's choir and music...none of it gets on my nerves)...the video has little to offer of direct instructional value (ala Baby Einstein, or Baby Faith's God Made Me, etc).

However, as it shows children playing joyfully and matches that to great praise music aimed at the very young, I'm very pleased with the purchase, and will be looking forward to the next edition joining our collection!

My son is only 5 months, and this video brings things out in him I didn't know he had! He gets SO excited to watch this...he slaps his knees in his bouncer. The child version you can choose for songs is really nice. I highly HIGHLY recommend this. I love it and so does my son. It's a great way to start building on a Christian foundation.

No Baby Einstein can rival this DVD when it comes to keeping my son's attention. The vocals on this DVD are truly outstanding. When my son received this as a gift, I was concerned that the songs would be irritating, grating or annoying, especially since I anticipated listening to then numerous times over the course of his youth. To my delight, the lead vocalist's voice is pure, clean and absolutely beautiful. The children's voices that join on the choruses are simple and unobtrusive, while still capturing my son's attention.

As the mother of an incredibly busy 12-month-old little boy, I have found this DVD invaluable for times when we need to sit together and calm down before bedtime or naptime. If he gets overtired, or too keyed up, I pop in the Praise Baby DVD and we sit and sing together. The beautiful vocals, fun and calm images on the screen are able to hold his attention while worshiping our Creator.

I have been playing this DVD for my daughter since she was a couple months old. It set the stage perfectly for relaxing and peaceful feedings. Now that she is 5 months old it is very familiar and soothing to her. The music is uplifting and she loves the images. I have found her giggling at things on the screen often! I highly recommend this as a worthwhile DVD that you can feel good about letting your children watch. I am excited to get the newest release!

I have an 18 month old boy and a 3 year old girl. This is the video I put in when I want to rest and cuddle with my son - it is very calming and peaceful, and he seems captivated by it. My daughter had always enjoyed it as well, and now sings along with many of the songs. While I would agree with some reviewers who say that the images aren't directly educational or necessarily related to the music like some other dvds out there, that doesn't bother me. I like that the images aren't as fast paced as some of the Baby Einstein shows, and I especially like the fact that my children are learning some of the praise songs we sing in church. Also, the vocals and instrumentals don't drive me nuts like much of the music that is geared for children - I actually enjoy hearing it in the background and singing along with it!

I bought this DVD about a week ago. My 15 month old daughter and I love it. It is a great way to introduce your child to worship while stimulating her mind with colors, numbers, animals and other children playing. My daughter will stay fixed to the screen the entire 30 minutes. She sways from side to side and lifts her hands as she hums along. I recomend this 100% and I am eagerly awaiting the next release.

We LOVE this whole series of DVD's. Our 13 month-old son never watches TV at home, but on long car trips, these are life savers! The music is beautiful and soothing and the images are great. He loves the "real" pictures of children, animals, and nature scenes. We received the "God of Wonders" as a gift, and have since purchased the other two. These are a great alternative to the Einstein videos if you want Christian music along with the videos.

Our five month old has been watching this DVD since he was 2 1/2 months old. He loves this "show" and is glued to the screen for the entire DVD! This is a superior DVD and great for his age range. The "show" starts right away (as opposed to Baby Einstein DVDs with "commercials" and plugs for Disney)...so if he's cranky it helps that images (and the music) appear on the screen quickly. The DVD is produced so that the screen is never blank - there is always one image morphing into another. This really seems to hold his attention. The music is continuous and is very uplifting.
We are completely satisfied with this DVD and are really quiet amazed at how well it holds our baby's attention. We look forward to purchasing other DVDs in the PB collection.
