Baby Talk - The Video Guide For New Parents [VHS]

It's Potty Time Is Not For Parents. It was designed for children in order to take as much work off the parents as possible. Children should begin watching this video as soon as they watch TV. They will not potty train at this time, but they will learn the songs and sing them all the time. When their bodies are ready, usually between 18 & 24 months, they begin to understand the songs they have been singing and quickly translate the words into action. In no time at all they develop proper bathroom etiquette.

Baby's First Impressions - Video Encyclopedia [VHS]

Not solely for the diaper crowd, this truly outstanding, multiple award-winning series from the makers of Bilingual Baby provides stimulating sensory fodder to toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. Topics ranging from shapes to letters, sounds to seasons, and anatomy to animals teach specific concepts and a wealth of vocabulary words by blending captivating sights, sounds, written words, and smart narration. The result is impressive: about five hours of high-quality, high-energy video that both educates and thoroughly entertains.

Every aspect of these tapes deserves praise. Take, for instance, quantity of content. "Letters" (volume 3) dedicates a full minute to each member of the alphabet; "Opposites" (volume 5) examines 30 pairs of words; and "Food Fun" (volume 10) offers a charismatic study of several dozen foods, including their tastes, colors, textures, and uses. The amount of content covered is admirable; however, the multisensory way each volume presents its material is truly exceptional. Outstanding camera work captures imaginative footage indoors and outdoors, and the occasional use of slow-motion or stop-motion photography keeps little eyes intrigued. Sensational music (varied throughout the series) and zippy scene changes keep the action moving. Pulling it all together is the helpful narrating voice that gently introduces words, points out interesting sights, and sometimes leads viewers through fun-filled review sessions.

Bee Smart Baby, Vocabulary Builder 3 - an educational video for infants & toddlers [VHS]

Admit it: you never thought you'd be buying a video with the word potty in the title. But it's been months, and while Junior seems to love his potty, he doesn't actually do anything in it. So you need some inspiration. Well, you've found it. This video expands upon the popular children's book by the same name in two ways: there's a sing-along potty song and a 13-minute doctor's statement for parents. The director of child psychiatry at a prominent New York hospital will calmly reassure you that it's perfectly normal for Junior to be taking his sweet time letting go of the diapers, and that's worth a lot. And the animated retelling of Joshua's potty progress is good, too. But it's the "music video" of the oh-so-catchy "Potty Song" that makes this half-hour tape. And just in case you aren't already singing the song in line at the bank or the grocery store, the thoughtful producers have included a lyric sheet for you. "Yes, I'm going to my potty, potty / Now, I'm going to my potty, potty...." --Kimberly Heinrichs
