Product Description
From Amazon.com
It's tough to imagine that the average tot wouldn't get adequate exposure to the objects presented in Bee Smart Baby: Vocabulary Builder, Vol. 1 to master their recognition and rough pronunciation by around 18 months, but parents in a hurry to hear their little ones jabber on about the things oft encountered in the first year or so of life will be grateful for this half-hour video. The concept is, as it should be, simple. First objects are shown in a variety of settings--a toy train going around a track, then a real one chugging along; a series of noses, some on grown-up faces and others belonging to kids; a large spoon stirring a bowl of pasta followed by a baby spoon against a blank background. Then a gentle-voiced narrator states the item's name twice, once at its introduction and again when it's time to move on. At first it seems we're in for nothing more than a laundry list of animals, body parts, and utensils, but then a pattern emerges: a series of four already-shown objects skitter by again, and they're repeated in order. This simple structure will appeal to caregivers who devour child-development studies--the benefits of repetition in early learning will be well known to them--and the makers of this video seem tuned in to the likelihood that it's the well-educated who are most apt to be watching along. To sweeten the deal for such grown-ups, they've set this video to the music of Mozart, which has been shown to constructively stimulate young children. --Tammy La Gorce

If you are looking for ASL this is NOT the video,
By "wisutri" (Low Country, SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bee Smart Baby Vocabulary Builder 1 (DVD)
I purchased this video for my 2 1/2 year old son who's primary communication is ASL. Because he is still young and still learning sign language I thought these dvds would be great to add to his collection. Boy, were we disappointed. Maybe if you do not already know ASL the dvds are fine BUT there are MULTIPLE signs that are wrong and in no way ASL. We turned the option off because it was confusing my son. Besides that if that is not an issue for you they are great dvds. If you are looking to teach your child sign I HIGHLY recommended "Signing Times", excellent dvds!!!

Great video!!,
By Jessica (Addison, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bee Smart Baby: Vocabulary Builder 1 (VHS Tape)
My son started watching this video at 18 months and has learned all of the words on it. It is the only thing he will sit down and watch. I think anyone who wants there childs vocabulary to grow will buy it.

Relatively Speaking, This Is No Einstein,
By Tom Diaz (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bee Smart Baby: Vocabulary Builder 1 (VHS Tape)
Admittedly, this video is in the upper tier of the Baby Einstein knockoffs. But there is a huge gap between the best of these imitations and the real deal (see my review of Baby Van Gogh). The videography in this one is better than most of the second-stringers, but the sound is primitive. More importantly, it interests our son only episodically, although more so than some of the worst (see Zen Baby, for example, Zen as in z-z-z-z-z). My own view is that the concept supposedly underlying this video gets parental fans hyper-ventilating ("I know, let's inject him with lots of Mozart and repetition of simple words and he'll be a freaking genius!"). But our son hears plenty of Mozart and simple words the natural way. Get this video if nobody around your house has time to actually tell your child what a "ball" or "cat" is and you never play the music of Mozart. You can get it all in one package right here. Relatively speaking, though, this is helium compared to the Einstein series's U235.
