Lots of fun, Great Music, Well Done!, July 27 2005
This review is from: Baby Monet: Discovering the Seasons (Baby Einstein) (DVD)
This is an exellent video! I love the way they introduce art, colors and show how each season turns to the next. My 10 month old laughs at the zebras (they are really cute and funny in their skits). He's also captivated by all the colors and images they show for each season. I think the smartest thing is how they show a color for each season and introduce artists impressions. The very begninnng they show two muffins and the little zebra comes along to paint them (you're thinking what does this have to do with season?) Then, they reveal the rest of the painting (a monet-like) of two huts (that look like the muffins) in the grass. They show this same paiting with different season all through the show....very smart! My son is captivated the entire video. I think this is the best we have so far....we also have Bach, Mozart, Beetohoven, Lang Nursery, Noah, Da Vinci, Neighborhood Animals, and Wordsworth. Monet is definately the best one.

Not one of their best..., May 7 2005
This review is from: Baby Monet: Discovering the Seasons (Baby Einstein) (DVD)
We have numerous Baby Einstein videos and our 7 month old loves them but this one is a little dull - the puppet shows are fun and great to watch (especially the catchy 'spring' one - but everything in between is a little dull - too many pictures of paintings and not enough "splash" to keep our little girl's attention - her favorite by far is Baby Galileo!!

Makes 2 kids laugh, Mar 12 2005
By Jackie "Jackie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby Monet: Discovering the Seasons (Baby Einstein) (DVD)
Baby Monet is a good addition to the series and is in the familiar Baby Einstein format - adorable puppet sequences kept my 6 mos old and 2 1/2 year old girls in hysterics (similar to pigs in the mud on Baby McDonald, most are very clever). Zebra characters that change colors with the seasons very cute. Heavy on the gorgeous nature footage, as an adult enjoyed that, interested 2 year old more than the baby. Seems they reused the some of same music tract from Vivaldi's Four Seasons from other DVDs, but it's the Four Seasons so that's fine and reusing music certainly doesn't matter to toddlers. This one was a hit with my kids, and different enough from the rest of the Einstein series that it warrants a purchase ... we have every Baby Einstein DVD and my girls from 2 months on love all of them, even Galileo. Advertising of Little Einstein before the show starts will get to be annoying over time though. Otherwise, a worthwhile purchase. Glad to have something else in the rotation for my 6 month old who watches Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Einstein over and over ... there definately is something behind the age tags on the DVDs, baby is not into Doolittle, Shakespeare, etc. yet.

Get ready to be disappointed!, Mar 14 2005
By Natalie Thomen-barbera - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby Monet: Discovering the Seasons (Baby Einstein) (DVD)
We have all been waiting for this new DVD from the Baby Einstein group....we were very disappointed! Definitely more for the 6 month group than infants any older or toddlers. Very basic in some ways but then very advanced with lots of stills of Monet works. Very little action compared to Neptune, Noah & Galileo. Anyway, make your own decision but I don't recommend wasting the money. BORING!!!!!

Lacks the energy of earlier titles; not as engaging for baby, April 1 2005
By David Traill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby Monet: Discovering the Seasons (Baby Einstein) (DVD)
Having purchased every one of the Baby Einstein DVDs made thus far, we had high hopes for this offering featuring my iwfe's favorite artist. However, our 7-month old son found this particular DVD nowhere near as interesting as he does the others. He woudn't last longer than five minutes before being distracted by anything else he could find in the room, as opposed to rapt attention during Baby Neptune (his favorite), Baby MacDonald, or the big three of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. Since some folks have mentioned it, I have no problem with the commercial at the beginning, especially since you can just skip to the next chapter/ beginning of the Baby Monet feature. While a big fan of the series, I am disappointed by the reaction from my son, and don't plan on playing this one that often since he didn't seem to enjoy it.
