Given that most children elect to watch a video repeatedly, this is one that parents won't mind in the slightest. Not only did this video completely captivate a 22-month-old for its entire 30-minute run-time, but it's easy on the parents, too. The extraneous segments with two pretty little blonde girls is silly, but forgivable. According to the video producers, "Bach's music has shown to enhance creativity, improve academic achievement, reduce anxiety and heighten mental awareness." Any parent will embrace this theory. The images are lively, clean, and sharp, and producers The Baby Einstein Company have a firm handle on what interests babies and toddlers. --N.F. Mendoza The music, available on CD, is simply lovely.
