Plot Outline:
The Baby Einstein Company's
"video board books" were designed as music-focused
developmental tools to stimulate babies' brains (prompted
by research proving that exposure to classical melodies can
improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity,
and memory in youngsters). Now the company is expanding
into other art forms, including color and art. The idea
remains the same--taking bold, beautiful objects (toys,
puppets, nature scenes) and setting them to fun renditions
of classical music (their recordings are easily the best in
the crowded field of child development). A new
puppet--Vincent Van Goat--introduces the six primary colors
and associates them with Van Gogh's paintings--"The Starry
Night" for blue, "Wheat Fields with Reaper" for yellow. The
only misstep is the poetry written and read by creator
Julie Aigner-Clark, which is strongly reminiscent of Dr.
Seuss's My Many Colored Days. The company suggests the
program is for toddlers between the ages of 1 and 4. Harsh
sounds between segments--such as balloons popping and tires
screeching--will draw the attention of youngsters but will
probably render the video inappropriate for babes in arms.
The video can be purchased by itself or with a beautifully
produced 28-page book featuring Van Gogh's paintings,
screen shots from the video, and Clark's poems. The
combination set may be the best way to engage 3- and
4-year-olds' interest; they can follow along in the text
while watching the video. Music includes "The William Tell
Overture," "The Blue Danube," "Bolero," and Brahms's
"Lullaby." The video also provides information on the cool
toys seen in the ending "Toy Chest" segment. --Doug Thomas
