The Bottom Line
The International Baby DVD is a good choice for bilingual children or for families wanting their children to pick up more than one language at an early age. The background songs are one of the nicest things about this DVD. Nursery rhymes including Old MacDonald, My Grandfather's Clock, Mary had a little lamb and many more make this DVD equally enjoyable for both parents and children alike. This is one DVD which I wouldn't mind watching over and over again primarily because of the music!

Guide Review - International Baby Let's Sing Together Bilingual Children's DVD

The International Baby DVD series aims to teach young kids more than one language. These DVDs feature bilingual soundtracks, subtitles, menu options and more. Very engaging nursery rhymes are accompanied by things kids love like stuffed animals, clocks, moving toys and more. There is also a brief language lesson which stresses on some common words. Parents have an option to choose either English or Spanish for the soundtrack, and also for the subtitles.

If you are expecting a DVD which uses both languages simultaneously, then you will be disappointed, as this DVD can be viewed in only one language at a time. After viewing it in English, you can switch and watch it in Spanish and vice versa. Older kids however, will benefit from the subtitles where they can watch the DVD in one language and read the subtitles in another language.

The animations and props used in this bilingual children's DVD are simple, yet well chosen. There are lots of animals, bright colors, moving toys, clocks and more which hold the attention of the children.
