Children's Video


Nature BabiesVideo Soup - Nature Babies
Em-bry-on-ics, Division of Munchkin, Inc.

Watching this videotape is an experience that parents and children really savored.  Sweet, sentimental and lighthearted, there is some truly remarkable nature footage of mothers and babies in the wild.  Using a nice musical score, there are some truly wonderful moments between mother and baby caught on camera.  Some of the footage provided our testers with some real belly laughs too.  The iguana knocking a bee off his tree limb, the springing, enthusiastic monkey, and the bird chasing his tail feathers had the kids rolling on the floor. 

Recommended Age: 12 months and Up      Price: $14.95

Backyard Enterprises

What cold be cuter that watching baby animals at play?  Not much, and you'll find all that cuteness bundled nicely into this engaging videotape.  The vocal stylings that Hap Palmer lends to this sweet video helped to make it a real hit with our testers.  There is a nice blend of animation and live footage of children and animals that made the time in front of the TV filled with fun, singing and laughter.  There are some old musical favorites like Old MacDonald, mixed together with some new compositions.  Our parents singled out one titled "Amazing", which points out how truly remarkable our world and the creatures in it are.

Recommended Age: 0 - 6                  Price: $12.98

   

Mozart Nature SymphoniesVideo Soup - Mozart Nature Symphonies
Em-bry-on-ics, Division of Munchkin, Inc.

This sweet nature video is easy on the eyes and ears for both parents and children.  The disclaimer at the front end of the tape encourages shared viewing and parents told us they were glad they followed the advice.  A wonderful score featuring familiar and not-so-familiar Mozart symphonies plays under terrific footage of all types of animal life.  You will be truly amazed at some of the eye opening photography.  The close-up work really brings the nature of each creature in focus and by watching their movements and expressions, children really got caught up in the spectacle.  Don't miss the tree frog's self-cleaning ritual…it's amazing.

Recommended Age: 12 months and Up      Price: $14.95
