During the 1980s U2 had fast become a critically acclaimed band who reached stellar proportions. Due to their puritanical approach to both music and performance their ability to maintain their status was failing. They had fallen into the trap of being defined by a sound that was too American and an approach that was too stadium. Their album The Joshua Tree, which won the album of the year award at the Grammys in 1987, put them over the top, but they soon found that when you are at the top the only way to go is down. By the time of their next release Rattle and Hum, which was released simultaneously with a documentary of the same name, they had become redundant. The album received negative reviews from both film and music critics alike.

Perhaps the sweetest sounds you'll ever hear are the babbles and coos that one day become ma-ma, da-da and I love you. Besides being music to your ears, these baby steps of language change everything as your little one discovers an exciting, powerful new way of relating to the world! Baby's First Sounds invites both of you to share these memorable moments: those precious ''firsts'' that come around once in your baby's lifetime. Watch, listen and join in as your baby is exposed to five basic sounds: ''ah,'' ''buh,'' ''duh,'' ''ee,'' and ''mm.'' Then, these sounds are connected to simple words in languages such as English, Spanish, Chinese and French and reinforced with fun puppet shows, familiar nursery rhymes and real-life images of loving parents spending together-time with their babies -- all accompanied by beautiful classical music in the Baby Einstein tradition.

A playful introduction to the four seasons through art and music!
-- Introduces babies to the sights and sounds of the four seasons
-- Exposes little ones to famous Monet masterpieces
As babies grow and change, so does the landscape around them. From fiery red leaves to falling snowflakes; from flowers in bloom to fireworks in July, every season of the year has its own special magic just waiting to be discovered. Baby Monet takes little ones on a sight-and-sound-filled journey through spring, summer, fall and winter using playful puppet shows, real images of nature, children, toys, and masterpieces by Claude Monet set to excerpts from composer Antonio Vivaldi's timeless "The Four Seasons." This virtual breath of fresh air lets you and your baby share the beauty of each season as you explore its wonders together!

A baby's first year of life is filled with new experiences, and even something as familiar as water can be fascinating!

Parents Choice recommendation, Baby Newton Discovering Shapes DVD is hosted by colorful and playful puppets who take your child on a field trip through a shape-filled world of sights, motion and sound.
With the Van Gogh, Dolittle, and other Baby programs under their belts, the tots who follow Julie Aigner-Clark's Baby Einstein series will sidle up to Baby Newton expecting a similar exploration of building blocks to brilliance, but this time there's a wrinkle or two. Animation makes its first appearance, and parents steeped in keep-it-simple culture may object to the springy "I Know My Shapes" song, a departure from classical-only video predecessors. Otherwise, the tried-and-true genius launchers of titles past pop up anew--Vivaldi floats through each of five shape segments, and clever puppet shows play quickly and infrequently enough to captivate the under-2 crowd. Plus, talk about well rounded: Clark covers the bases, showing off triangular sails drifting toward the sunset one second and geometric patterns the next. Play it for a departure from skill-building standbys like pop-up books and plastic sorters for ages 1 to 3.
