Product Review
Baby Songs is a video series aimed at babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Many feature the songs of Hap Palmer, but this version, Rock & Roll, contains songs by the original artists who made them hits.

All of the Baby Songs videos are fun for young kids to watch. But they go beyond fun — they are interactive. The video clips encourage kids to participate. In fact, our kid testers all were singing along, even dancing. Never did we see kids simply glued to the set as when we play most children's videos. The Baby Songs series is superb.

This particular video is no exception, but it is one of the few Baby Songs videos that doesn't feature the songs of Hap Palmer. With such rock 'n roll classics as "Twist and Shout" by The Isley Brothers and Fats Domino's "I'm Walking", the focus is on high-energy dancing, shaking, and often downright goofiness. Throughout the video, kids, babies, and adults are moving to the music. In "Come On Let's Go", a boy is hesitant about sliding down a big slide, but with the encouragement of his parents who are waiting at the bottom, he gets the courage, and has great fun.

Dollar Value
This video sells for $12.98 US, and is well worth the investment.
