I absolutely LOVED the Classical Baby Dance, Music and Art Show videos (especially the Art Show) so it was quite exciting to see a new Classical Baby on the market - the Poetry Show. While it is charming, it's definitely lacking compared with the original three. First of all, it's a good 10 minutes shorter (when we are talking a 20 minute video vs. 30 minutes, that's a big difference.) More importantly, my child just wasn't into it. It hops around too quickly and the children's commments (while sweet for adults) didn't interest my child at all. Of all the amazing poems that could have been included, why they chose the ones they chose is baffling. Only half of the included ones seemed appropriate for a child. Hmm... HBO, sorry this time.
Absolutely beautiful DVD - But note that this one is for older children than the Music one and the Art one.

The variety of poems and imagery to go along with them are great. Our daughter took such a liking to this episode of the series that it's the only thing to soothe her when she's upset. Several or the celebrity readings are great too; our favorites are How Do I Love You (Gwynth Paltrow) & Mariposa (Andy Garcia). Having the children explain the poems is a great feature as well, I think children will relate to it.
My little granddaughter has a language delay and I have to remind myself to keep moving her "up" conceptually. At 20 months, the was entranced by Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, then laughed out loud at Oh How It Is to Go Up in a Swing. So, if her first sentence turns out to be "Shall I compare thee to a summer day?" I won't be surprised. I like the kids talking about poetry, and especially the reciting of "This is just to say". We watch it a LOT and I bought a second copy for her house, too.
