 Too Boring! November 10, 2006
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love Baby Einstein products, especially the videos, but my 1year old found this one so boring he didn't sit through even the first viewing. They just say the name of something and show a picture of it and have a woman signing the word on half the screen. He loved neighborhood animals and baby neptune a lot more.

My 15 month old boy LOVES B.E. dvds. He watches baby wordsworth with great concentration and he is even doing some of the signs. As a mom, I'm a great lover of Baby Einstein products and I would recommend to all kids. I've read some of the reviews and it's quit abvious how different kids are from each other. That doesn't mean that dvd is bad it's just not working for some kids. It's working for my son so I'm very positive about it. As an adult, I'm so bored with the dvd and the pace but the baby einstein company didn't make the program for my age group.
 NICE IDEA, BUT SEXIST AND A HORRIBLE TRANSLATION October 12, 2006

We expose our babies/toddlers to a wide variety of cultural sources, in several languages. Therefore, having seen similar products it seemed logical to purchase this one, given it is touted as a multilingual introduction to their environment (our little ones are trilingual: English, Spanish and ASL, and they ignore us in all them!). Big mistake. The video not only reinforces but solidifies the sexist portrayal of love so prevalent in other Baby Einstein (BE) items. In earlier BE products one could see only female hands manipulating objects as they presented them on screen. Male hands were never present. This video goes many steps furhter by featuring male figures only in the background, or at best, an elderly man briefly interacting with a child. Everywhere else you see multiple females lovingly playing, caring or otherwise being nurturing to children. Males are only seen (with the exception of a black couple in bed while kids jump to play with them) in a distant background in entirely detached attitudes, or at least distant, dry and quiet poses, such as talking with a much older (male) child. It is as if they are shown there as part of the domestic landscape, however as movable and inane as potted plants, whom you can move and place at will. I felt insulted by this condescending and disqualifying view of male love and nurturing abilities.
Asides, when you go into the Spanish version, it is (for a professionally produced video) riddled with mistakes. Three objects are mislabeled. In the first, when a cup - the plastic or paper tall type , not the coffee and saucer version, it is called "la taza", when in reality it should be "el vaso", as unlike English, where it is interchangeable "vaso" is the specific word for that item. The second - much worse instance, still in the kitchen was to introduce a bowl. There, the clueless scripter translated it as "el bol", a clear and poor corruption of the English word into a one commonly used in Spanglish, instead of calling it "tazo'n", as its correct name is. The last one I saw was in the yard (I'm suprised they didn't call it la yarda!: "Looka mami! get la troca and go a la marketa a buy a boncha de carrotas!"). This time they called an obvious swing (two ropes and a seat in between) "la hamaca", when in reality hamaca means hammock. Fortunately, we are native speakers amnd are abel to catch these pitfalls, but many people relies upon these products to teach their kids other languages.
In sum I was discusted with the whole thing.
Not worth the money. October 1, 2006

I am a HUGE fan of Baby Einstein. My son loves them all. He is 2 and a half, and still watches them. I love them also, because they are so nice on the ears. I can't STAND the background noise of most kids shows. Especially over and over and over!! But Baby Einstein is pleasant and nice to watch. BUT Baby Wordsworth is stupid and not worth 1.00 at a garage sale. We have not even made it through the whole thing one single time. My son won't sit still for even 5 minutes of it. Save your money. If you want something to help you with vocabulary, we LOVE Baby Babble. It's a must! My son learned several words from it.
