Baby Einstein - Baby Galileo - Discovering the Sky [DVD]

Very cute baby dvd , so adorable. Great for young babies to young toddlers. Very pleased with my purchase.

I love baby Einstein

I have watched this DVD several times with my four month old niece. She loves it, and so do I! My niece is a little young for it, but she loves the parts with the puppets and the repeated sections between chapters. And she enjoys the music and the scenes of clouds or stars. I have found it to be quite interesting myself. I love the beautiful scenes of the sun rising and setting, the clouds going by, the moon rising, the stars filling the sky, the planets, and especially the gorgeous scenes of different galaxies.I don't see a problem with having vocabulary that young kids aren't likely to get. It is still good to expose them to new words and ideas, even if they don't understand it yet. I love the mix of real nature scenes and the toys and children playing with them. It is exposing my baby niece to new faces and scenes of the world that she won't otherwise be exposed to. And the classical music is beautiful too!

My 15 year old son with severe autism loves these videos. They help him add to his vocabulary. He also tries to learn to play the music. Baby Einstein videos are learning tools for all ages and abilities.

This is an introduction to the world of space exploration and the sky. This is Baby Einstein, hence the word, BABY. Since I can speak from experience as a former Early Interventionist, I would venture guess that THE OTHER REVIEWER'S child is probably developing rapidly, and needs something more developmentally appropriate to engage him/herself. Babies can become overwhelmed with too much information, so this is perfect for babies. My 7 month old LOVES this, and he cries when it's over. For me, it's a MIRACLE, since I am now a stay-at-home mom by choice. If you look at the credits at the end, they get a lot of their illustrations from NASA. This was a great way for me to introduce my baby to my husband's job and the world of space. ALSO RECOMMENDED: THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE SPACE! (A DR. SEUSS BOARD BOOK that's for preschoolers but is engaging b/c of the rhyming and colors for my little one)

Of all of the Baby Einstein's my grandson loves Galileo the best, and has not tired of since first enjoying it at around 8 months. When he watches he looks back and forth from the video to me with a huge smile and look of wonder, giving us a great opportunity to bond and learn. The little kangaroo kid is so funny and makes little noises rather than words to express himself and his mommy is so loving, always there for a hug or reassurance! The 'plot' is well played out, moving through different areas of sky explorations. The photography is absolutely stunning and the music is perfect for a young child. I can't recommend this video enough. To this day, my grandson is thrilled when he hears "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" (making a star twinkle with his hands) and can even pick this song out when it is revised or used with different words.

I was so excited to see that there was a new addition to the Baby Einstein DVD collection and as soon as I received it, I put it on for my 18-month old son.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. You wouldn't think this video even came from the same collection! It's unoriginal, over-produced, canned, and downright boring. The entire DVD was produced on film instead of video (instead of short portions), so you lose the "real" look and effect found in the other videos. And the puppets? The puppets are HORRIBLE! Disney has done away with the hand puppets, replacing them with these very mechanical-looking puppets controlled by sticks. Even the music used is almost identical to one of the scores used in a previous video. There are also no cute, colorful toys buzzing across the screen in-between scenes.This video totally lacks the charm, beauty, simplicity and imagination that you find in the other videos. Disney has taken Julie Clark's originality and has butchered it. But don't just take my word for it! Let me tell you my 18-month old son's reaction...With this DVD, he did something I have never seen him do with any of the Baby Einstein videos. Within five minutes of it starting, he was already losing interest and started playing with some of his toys. Within 10 minutes, he had moved away from the TV altogether and was playing under the dinner table. When I tried to play it for him later, he lost again lost interest after a short time. I have yet to see him sit through the entire video.This is one DVD that I would definitely recommend leaving out of the collection. On the other hand, my son was totally captivated by Baby Neptune, Baby Mozart and Baby Van Gogh. He never seems to get bored with them, even after watching them 100 times.

My boys are older but live it still ( they have Autism).
