This is the near-legendary video that started the trend of songs for kids on video in 1986. The footage of kids playing in houses and backyards has a delightful homemade quality and is anchored by the songs of Hap Palmer, once dubbed the "Bob Dylan of the diaper set." His songs do have a nice folksiness that is just right. From the very first song, "Piggy Toes," you can see where the video is aimed: the Sesame Street group of infants to 6-year-olds. Palmer has a gift for writing bouncy numbers that go beyond the normal subject matter. "My Mommy Comes Back" speaks to kids who are left at Grandma's or a day care center ("my mommy comes back, she always comes back..."). Other songs on the 30-minute tape include "Shout & Whisper," "Rolling," and the self-explanatory "Today I Took My Diapers Off." --Doug Thomas

 Our 20 month old loves it! December 17, 2008
H. Wall (Georgia)
I bought this DVD for our 20 month old because she had lost interest in the two Baby Einstein videos we have. I wanted to find a simple video that has good music and is fun to watch, both of which Baby Songs accomplishes. Our little girl is fascinated with babies and goes nuts whenever she sees a real baby or a doll out in public, so I thought this DVD would be a good choice for her. She LOVES this video and watches it just about everyday for 30 minutes. She has learned the tune to several of the songs and likes to repeat the fun actions that the kids perform in various parts of the video. One of her favorite songs is "So Big" and after watching it on the video, she now nods her head "yes, yes, yes" the same way. Even our 4.6 y/o enjoys watching it with her little sister and quickly learned all the songs to which she happily sings throughout the day. Overall, we could not be more pleased with this purchase and look forward to buying another song collection or video by Hap Palmer.
Great DVD for babies! December 11, 2008
MikesMom (Chicago, IL)
My son loves this DVD. The videos that go with the songs are a bit dated, but it doesn't matter for my 14-months old. He loves the songs. The only 'complain' that I have is that the tunes are so catchy, you can't get them out of your head! Both my husband and I catch ourselves humming them. I will definitely recommend this DVD to anyone who has children.
Toddlers Love This - Trust Me! July 28, 2008
Mom of 2-Year-Old
I know it's hard to believe but toddlers love this DVD. I know it's so 80's and the production quality makes it look like a senior project (that's senior in high school, not college). But kids just go nuts for it, I don't know why. I think it's the guy's voice, plus I think the songs are relatable for a toddler. It's just perfect for that age. It was my brother-in-law's favorite VHS as a kid (he's now 17) and all the kids my mother-in-law watched loved it as well. When my daughter was a baby my MIL pulled it out and had her watch it. I was like whatever, she'll never like this, but she loved it so much I ended up buying my in-laws the DVD for their house to replace the old VHS. Now I'm looking for a CD of the songs to play in the car because my daughter is always requesting them and my singing voice is not the greatest! Her favorites are Mommy Comes Back, Don't Wash My Blanket and So Big. But really she loves all of them. Your kid will too!

I was given this DVD as a gift for my baby shower. My 'baby' is now 2 1/2 and she still LOVES this dvd. I put it on and she doesn't move for the entire time it is on. This dvd is 20 years old and it shows in what the people are wearing but little ones don't care. They just love it! I would highly recommmend this.
Forever Classic April 5, 2008

10 years ago, I babysat a toddler who loved this video, and so now with a toddler of my own, I decided to give it a whirl - My daughter LOVES this video. She's mezmorized by the babies and toddlers on the video and tries to sing along with the songs. What a great classic! I plan on trying the other videos now.
