 My Son's Favorite! February 27, 2007
My son really loves this movie. We have 7 of them and this is the best.
The zebra puppets are so cute. The seasons are clearly defined and each season is assigned its own zebra puppet colored to match the season. (For example, Fall is orange with deep, royal purple stripes) The puppet shows in this one are really cute and humorous. My son is 7 months and laughs out loud at some of them.
I think the imagery is great. It does capture my son's attention. This one is a little different than the other ones, but it is well done. They go through all of the seasons, there is a little intro where they introduce the season and the season's puppet mascot. THen they go into the imagery similar to the other movies. There is a puppet show and then they go to the next season. At the end, there is a seasonal montage featuring the puppets and my son really loves that. There is an upbeat musical number and the puppets dance around so my son tries to wiggle around with the puppets.
The music is great. An obvious choice of course, but they matched the tempo of the music to the images well.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it doesn't have enough Monet paintings to be called baby monet. I had to go back and watch it again because I didn't notice it enough. Once you go back through it, you notice it, but there really isn't that much. I get that is says Monet- seasons, but the Van Gogh-colors relies heavily on the Van Gogh paintings to get the point across. Not so much with this one. So if you want to teach your kid about Claude Monet, I wouldn't go for this as an aid; but it is a fabulous "learn the seasons" DVD.
Good movie... February 13, 2007
My son didn't not even like this movie until he was about 20 months old. Then one day, he just loved it. He loves dancing to the end song with all of the zebras, and just cracks up the whole time. It's a fun movie, but I'd save it until your babies are a little older.
 Different but Very Well Done February 12, 2007

This video does vary from the traditional Baby Einstein videos, but in a good way. My 8 month old loves it, primarily because the puppets make many appearances which she always adores. I wouldn't recommend it as much around bedtime because, in my opinion, it seems to be a little more upbeat and invigorating. Overall, it is my daughter's favorite followed by World Animals and Baby Galileo.
Love it January 27, 2007
My 17 month old got this for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. He dances to the music. He is curious about the changes in colors. He laughs at the puppets. One of his favorite Baby Einstein videos by far.
 Painfully slow moving... January 4, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
While I appreciate that the concept behind the Baby Einstein product is classical music set to slow moving screen, this one takes the cake!!! We have every dvd in this series and Baby Monet is definitely the worst!!! They show alot of famous pieces of art but I'm not convinced that an infant can appreciate it!!!!!!!! Pass on this one!!!
