It's called "whole brain thinking," the notion that if children are stimulated to use both sides of the brain--developing their abilities to think both logically and creatively--they will become more adept learners. Underscoring such research, the folks at Small Fry Productions (makers of Bilingual Baby ) have produced Brainy Baby, which joins a host of worthy tapes designed to stimulate a baby's mind. This two-volume set is unique, however, in addressing specific left and right brain functions in distinct, 30-minute programs. "Left Brain," the second volume, picks up where volume one leaves off, engaging a child's analytical abilities. Bright visuals encourage growth in the areas of math, language, and logic. Patterns and shapes are introduced in colors of red, black, and white. Language is explored beginning with letters of the alphabet, followed by simple words and voice-overs offering the equivalent in Spanish and French. Numbers are presented in sequence using interactive questions (How many do you see?). Less clinical than the So Smart! approach, Brainy Baby provides enthusiastic narration and plenty of baby faces, familiar toys, and giggles. It also employs the so-called Mozart effect (the idea that classical music enhances a child's spatial intelligence), interspersing selections from baroque and classical era composers Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. If parents are uncomfortable with the film's academic premise to "develop your child's analytical side for a smarter baby," they can be assured that, research aside, there is plenty of pure enjoyment here to delight a wee one, 6 to 36 months. And the melodies of the maestros make it palatable for parents too. --Lynn Gibson This video works together with the Right Brain video to present both creative and logical types of images and activities. Left Brain features classical music and gentle voices, and explores Logic, Patterns, Letters & Numbers, Sequencing, Analyzing details, and more! DVD includes special features such as: Baby Bloopers, Behind The Scenes, and Storybook. 45 minutes Review: Excellent for 6 Months and Older - This is an excellent DVD for 6 Months (or even younger) and older. I bought the Brainy Baby: Left Brain for my 6 months old son, along with a few of the LeapFrog DVDs and the Your Baby Can Read Collection. Within a month, I quit using the LeapFrog products and have been repeatedly using The Brainy Baby: Left Brain DVD. My son is immediately attentive whenever I put the DVD on. I love the separation of Chapters, the mixing up of the subjects and the different subjects; I love the speed of delivery, and I love the breaking of the monotony. My son amazingly watches the DVD entirely, every time I put it on. He is especially transfixed on the Alphabet Chapter, the Counting Chapter and the Shapes Chapter. The instructor's voice is clear, soft and soothing for learning. Excellent learning idea for the little one. I regret not stacking up on the Brainy Baby products before I left the U.S. I am reserving the Your Baby Can Read until later. But I highly recommend starting out with the Brainy Baby: Left Brain. Review: Left & Right Brain Videos were big hits at our house! - I purchased these used from a bookstore that buys and resells used books and videos. I think my baby boy was about 5 months old at the time. These were the ONLY videos that ever captured his attention at that young age. Any other video--Disney, Baby Einstein, etc.--just had him crying within a few minutes. These, though, he would watch to the end, fascinated. To this day, he loves them, and he is now 15 months old; the tapes are WORN OUT so I am reordering them both. Not only does he still love them, but I just had a new baby, and I am hoping they will entertain her just as much. In fact, the other night, we accidentally woke him up and he cried and cried and wouldn't go back to sleep. Finally, in desperation, my husband popped one of these into the VCR, and my son was INSTANTLY quieted the moment he heard the familiar music; in no time at all he was ready to go back to bed. We have since purchased most of the other titles in the Brainy Baby series--he loves them all, the music, the images of the babies, etc. The ABC video is especially well-done. He also gradually learned to enjoy other types of videos by Baby Einstein, Sesame Street, etc. But these two left & right brain videos are still his very favorites.

A good help for busy mothers like me
Catchy music, my daughter can watch Brainy Baby Dvd's the whole day and the next day. Kids really do learn just by watching tv. A good help for busy mothers like me.

5 month old, 2 year old & 4 year old love it!
I bought this for my 5 month old boy. He loves it and is glued to the tv, usually from start to finish. My 2 year old gets so excited when she hears it coming on and also usually sits through the whole thing. She and my 4 year old shout out the alphabet or answers to "what kind of animal is this?" along with the video. It is set to a lot of classical background music which I like.

The CD was awesome
When I ordered this cd, I was thinking to myself others think its nice but will my baby find it nice too? So i went ahead and ordered it. though it cost me a lot to ship it here to Saudi Arabia, but ut was worth it. My daughter now counts every day. she counts things eventthough she is only 18 months. She learned how to say apple and now all fruits are " Apple" but it just the start. I know she will know the difference with time.

Love this DVD
This is the review that almost wasn't. We bought this DVD months ago, and our daughter cried within moments of it coming on. She was very much a Baby Einstein kid. Recently, she actually asked for this DVD (luckily we hadn't given it away yet). She's 25 months and speech delayed. She usually sits quietly when a show is on. After watching this a couple of times, she was repeating sounds and actually tried to recite the alphabet. The repetitive nature of the DVD series seems to be the key, here. We've since acquired Right Brain, English and ABCs, all of which she loves and responds to. I can't wait to get more.

Magic DVD
My 13 month old son is obsessed! I think he demands it in the mornings now. Lol. I also have noticed it really gets him into learning. He loves letters and numbers more now than ever before. Love Brainy Baby!

perfect
my littlin' is 2yrs 6mth's and although we know he is intelligent, it seems he didn't see the need to talk! However, after only a week of watching this twice a day, he has learnt his alphabet - really is amazing!

My son loved it. Not sure how much useful it was
My son loved it. Not sure how much useful it was. There is a lot of demonstration of different educational toys and the video was always accompanied by "mum, can you please buy this, and this, and this"...
