Summary: Brainy Baby - 123's review
Comment: My 2 year old daughter loves this DVD. She watches it every day. She loves the colors, props, and songs they sing. It keeps her attention and she is actually counting to 10 now. I was a little afraid to try something other than Baby Einstein -- but this DVD is great. I plan on purchasing the ABC one next.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Better than Baby Einstein
Comment: I like these videos a little better than Baby Einstein because they use more words, numbers, and more interactive people. My child loved the Baby einstein DVDs too, but as she gets a little older (15 months now), she seems to enjoy these more. They are a little more advanced than Baby Einstein DVDs, I think.

Summary: BO-RING!
Comment: I bought this for my 18 month-old daughter because she loves the Brainy Baby ABC video. But this video is EXTREMELY repetitive! It bored her so much that she lost interest by the time they reached number 7 on the first viewing. She hasn't asked for it since. Very disappointed.

Summary: Very Inspiring
Comment: I am thrilled to have had such a product in my home. Both of our daughters are quietly counting their fingers and toes and yet they are a little too young to have grasped that much from the product display one is 9mths and the other is 2 years old. Thank you so much please avail this product to as many as can afford it at even cheaper rates. Thanks to the crew that put this together. Homeshooling gets easier with such a product.

Summary: Watch numbers! Watch numbers!
Comment: My 2-year old loves this, and is always asking to "Watch numbers! Watch numbers!" However he is pretty obsessed with visual symbols in general, so your mileage may vary.
After some initial filler which you will probably want to skip past, the program goes through the numbers from 1 to 20 in order. For number n, the format is to display several collections of n objects on the screen and count them in various cute ways. For example, 10 unlit candles will appear on the screen, and then these will be lit one by one, while a voice says "one, two, three ..." You get the idea.
After the number 5, there is a short break to review the numbers from 1 to 5 and to do a tiny bit of addition and subtraction. After the number 10, there is a longer break including a music video of counting to 20 on one's fingers and toes.
I think that as the numbers get into the teens, the program starts to lose interest. Counting 17 objects gets a bit tedious, and when they are scattered randomly on the screen it is sometimes hard to keep track of which ones you have already counted. In any case, there is 20-30 minutes of good, possibly educational entertainment here.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Learning to count to 20 is fun when the basics are introduced through familiar objects, bright animation, enthusiastic narrators, and energetic kids. Created by early childhood specialists, this Brainy Baby presentation showcases each number from 1 to 20, much like the number of the day in a typical Sesame Street episode. Adult and child narrators count a variety of familiar items, from goldfish crackers to crayons, while on-screen numbers provide visual reinforcement. Several "let's count" segments offer opportunities to practice counting and the "how many" section introduces pre-addition skills by counting objects first by color and then all together. While the program may seem unduly repetitive to adults and older children, it is precisely that repetition that promotes cognitive learning in children ages 2 to 4. --Tami Horiuchi
