Baby Galileo DVD

Baby E Baby GalileoFrom the stars to planets to clouds, the Baby Galileo: Discovering the Sky DVD by Baby Einstein teaches little ones about everything in the sky. This is by far the favorite DVD of my 10 month old. From the first moment it started playing she started laughing and giggling with delight. That is not her norm. She usually watches DVDs with interest and an occasional laugh but nothing like this. I thought it was a fluke. But every time since, it's the same thing. That makes Baby Galileo one of my favorites too.
But make no mistake, it's not just for babies. My toddler enjoys this one as well, much more than any of the other DVDs in the Baby Einstein series. But then, she loves the moon. It's her favorite word I think. She enjoys singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and repeating the words. I was surprised when she said Jupiter today. Sun, moon, stars, sure. But the name of a planet? Now that's impressive! I'm going to be playing this one a lot more. Maybe I'll end up with two little astronomers? We're definitely going to check out the local observatory now.
Baby Galileo has all of the great features Baby Einstein videos have come to be known for: soothing yet stimulating classical music, puppet shows, real world images mixed with art, and more. Plus it has a repeat play function if 28 minutes of learning about the sky isn't enough for your future star gazers. It also has a DVD-ROM bonus feature that allows you to print out a coloring book with corresponding images and ideas from the program.
You can find it at Buy.com for $16.88.
