This
exploration of animals--from animals with stripes to animals
with wings--is not just for babies. In fact, many of the
facts offered by the video/DVD will go over younger
children's heads. However, for preschoolers, Brainy Baby
Animals offers plenty of live-action footage of animals
and some interesting information as well. Kids are
introduced to llamas, urchins, tarantulas, and more. They
enjoy a music video of Old MacDonald, learn that a cow has
four stomachs, watch the hilarious antics of monkeys, learn
the names of animal groups (pride, herd, pod, etc.), and
watch the "animal alphabet".
Words
appear on the screen as each new animal is introduced, and
classical music runs along with the narration.
This
video is engaging for preschoolers and even children a
little older, but may not hold the attention of toddlers.
