With the Van Gogh, Dolittle, and other Baby programs under their belts, the tots who follow Julie Aigner-Clark's Baby Einstein series will sidle up to Baby Newton expecting a similar exploration of building blocks to brilliance, but this time there's a wrinkle or two. Animation makes its first appearance, and parents steeped in keep-it-simple culture may object to the springy "I Know My Shapes" song, a departure from classical-only video predecessors. Otherwise, the tried-and-true genius launchers of titles past pop up anew--Vivaldi floats through each of five shape segments, and clever puppet shows play quickly and infrequently enough to captivate the under-2 crowd. Plus, talk about well rounded: Clark covers the bases, showing off triangular sails drifting toward the sunset one second and geometric patterns the next. Play it for a departure from skill-building standbys like pop-up books and plastic sorters for ages 1 to 3.

A baby's first year of life is filled with new experiences, and even something as familiar as water can be fascinating! Little ones will explore the water in their world: from splashing in the tub as part of their bath time routine, to visiting the beach and "meeting" the remarkable water creatures living in rivers, lakes and oceans. Overflowing with undersea footage of whales, dolphins and fish, plus live action visuals of puppet shows and happy children, this fun exploration of water also features beautiful classical music to accompany you and your baby on an interactive voyage of discovery!

As babies grow and change, so does the landscape around them. From fiery red leaves to falling snowflakes; from flowers in bloom to fireworks in July, every season of the year has its own special magic just waiting to be discovered. Baby Monet takes little ones on a sight-and-sound-filled journey through spring, summer, fall and winter using playful puppet shows, real images of nature, children, toys, and masterpieces by Claude Monet set to excerpts from composer Antonio Vivaldi's timeless "The Four Seasons." This virtual breath of fresh air lets you and your baby share the beauty of each season as you explore its wonders together!

Baby's innate curiosity about all they see and hear increases on a daily basis. Before long, they begin to associate words with objects and to imitate and articulate sounds. Why not give their eyes and ears something wonderful to feast upon?

By combining the poetry with engaging puppet shows, funny sound effects, colorful, stimulating images and the glorious music of Ludwig van Beethoven, this exciting introduction to language provides countless opportunities for you and your baby to interact as you explore the wondrous world together!

Perhaps the sweetest sounds you'll ever hear are the babbles and coos that one day become ma-ma, da-da and I love you. Besides being music to your ears, these baby steps of language change everything as your little one discovers an exciting, powerful new way of relating to the world! Baby's First Sounds invites both of you to share these memorable moments: those precious ''firsts'' that come around once in your baby's lifetime. Watch, listen and join in as your baby is exposed to five basic sounds: ''ah,'' ''buh,'' ''duh,'' ''ee,'' and ''mm.'' Then, these sounds are connected to simple words in languages such as English, Spanish, Chinese and French and reinforced with fun puppet shows, familiar nursery rhymes and real-life images of loving parents spending together-time with their babies -- all accompanied by beautiful classical music in the Baby Einstein tradition.
